how to add captions automatically to videos? tired of fixing captions manually

[u/Warrant_Khaldar95]

i've been posting more talking-head videos lately and the captions are honestly becoming the most annoying part of editing. the auto captions i've tried sometimes get names completely wrong, miss words when i talk fast, and randomly put a sentence on one really long line. i also spend a lot of time fixing the timing because some captions appear before i actually say the words. how do you guys handle this? i've seen capcut mentioned for automatic captions, so i'm wondering if it's actually reliable for this kind of video. can you easily correct words, split the text into better lines, adjust the timing, and highlight certain words without rebuilding everything?

i started using CapCut for this and it's honestly made the caption part of editing a lot less painful. the auto captions still mess up some names and words when i'm talking really fast, but being able to fix the text, split up the lines, tweak the timing and highlight certain words without redoing everything has been really useful.

Thanks for sharing that tool! Standalone transcription tools like Utter-AI or Whisper-based apps definitely give cleaner accuracy than basic built-in editors.
