Instagram stories now has 500M daily active users. But many viewers skip stories if they can’t turn up their phone’s volume 🔊Caption This solves this problem by creating videos with live closed-captions. Just record a video or load it from your camera roll, and Caption This will add captions that are perfectly synced to your speech. 🎉

I was about to buy it and review it on my YouTube channel. But the reviews are already discouraging in the App Store. Hopefully you have plans to improve the app. When that happens I’d be happy to buy it and review it.

@scottwyden hey Scott! There were a few bugs in one of the first releases of the app, but those have since been fixed. Send me a DM and I'd be happy to get you a promo code to try the app out for free.

I've been using Caption This for about six weeks now, and I'm really pleased with it. We use the app to transcribe IG stories as part of our #MBAchicTakeover series on Instagram (we feature current MBA students / MBA grads who take us around for a day in the life, to conferences or job treks, and other events that help humanize the business school experience). After reading some crazy stat that an overwhelming majority of users view IG stories and videos on silent, we had to do something to make sure our contributors weren't wasting their time creating content for us. From the functionality, to creator @jonbrennecke being super responsive in answering questions about the app, I really cannot complain. I'm going to list out pros and cons, to make it easier to read: Pros: - ability to load pre-recorded videos - ability to edit the automatically generated captions word-by-word (tap the word you want to edit/replace while reviewing) - caption font can be customized, which is important for branding content Cons: - only iOS, not on Android yet - sometimes smaller words that are automatically generated ("I" or "a") are hard to tap your finger on to activate edit mode, so some of our clips wind up with errant single letters here and there - not a major dealbreaker but understand it's being addressed - cannot always detect low sound / narration (we had to manually caption some videos where the speaker was further from the mic, but that's more of a sound issue than an app issue) Thanks again, Jon, let me know if we can review any future releases or if you need anything from us. Very happy with it so far!

I make lots of edu videos, so caps are very useful.

Pros:

Very good app, would like to have a bigger font.

Cons:

When I save the video with captions, the background goes missing, so there's no background support for the caps. It just disappears.

Very disappointed with this app. It takes a long time to upload a 5 min video and even longer to generate subtitles. I downloaded the app an hour and a half ago and still waiting for the subtitles to be generated - the screen has been showing “almost ready” for the past 45 minutes (and this is a 5 min video). Do not waste your money on this app.
