Video Caption Generator

Free, high-quality captioning

1 follower

I built this Video Caption Generator because I wanted studio-quality subtitles without the studio budget. The catch? I’m bootstrapping with $0, so no fancy GPUs here. It uses heavy-duty Hugging Face models to analyze your video frame-by-frame. It’s definitely not instant—you might actually have time to touch grass while it renders. But unlike fast tools that hallucinate, this one actually watches your video to generate context-aware captions. It’s slow, free, and painstakingly accurate.

The story behind this is pretty simple: One day I was watching a video, and the guy was speaking so fast I couldn’t catch everything he was saying. I really needed the captions, but I didn't want a complex workflow. I just wanted to extract the text, copy it, and paste it into my editor to tweak it myself. Existing tools felt like overkill (or were paywalled), so I thought, "Why not just build a simple tool that does exactly this?" So, I built Captiq with $0 investment. It’s a straightforward app: Upload your video. The AI (powered by Hugging Face) listens and generates the captions. You copy the text or download the caption file and throw it into your editor. Full transparency: Since I’m bootstrapping this with no budget, I’m using free-tier models. That means it might be a little slow to process—but it’s free, it works, and my friends are already finding it super useful compared to the alternatives. I just decided to publish it randomly to see if it helps anyone else. I’d love for you to try it out and let me know what you think! Cheers! 🚀
