Made for speech-heavy
interview clips.
Interviews live or die on accuracy and retention. Here's how AnimateCaptions handles both.
Accurate transcription for speech-heavy clips
Interview clips are wall-to-wall dialogue, so transcription accuracy matters most. We run Deepgram Nova-3 — the same model paid tools use — across 36+ languages with automatic word-level timing.
Fix names and jargon in one click
Interviews are full of proper nouns, brand names, and industry terms a model can mishear. Click any word in the transcript to correct it — fix a guest's name or a technical term and it updates everywhere instantly.
Animated styles that hold attention
Talking-head footage is visually static, so the captions do the retention work. Per-word highlights and word-by-word reveals keep viewers reading along — pick from 32+ animated styles.
Position captions off the speaker's face
Drag each line exactly where you want it so captions never cover the guest's face or a lower-third name card. Per-line positioning that locks in for export.

Interview captions FAQ.
Does AnimateCaptions label who is speaking?
No — we don't do speaker diarization or speaker labels. We transcribe the spoken dialogue accurately and let you style and position the captions. For single-guest soundbites and talking-head clips that's usually all you need.
Can I fix a misheard name or technical term?
Yes — this is the most useful part for interviews. Click any word in the transcript to correct it. Fix a guest's name, a company, or a niche industry term in one click and the change applies across the whole clip.
Is it free?
Yes. You can transcribe and export captioned interview clips on the free tier with no credit card. Free exports include a small AnimateCaptions watermark; paid plans from $7.99/month remove it.
Is this good for podcast and YouTube interview clips?
Yes — that's exactly what it's built for. Podcast cuts, YouTube interview soundbites, and expert talking-head clips are dialogue-heavy, and accurate transcription plus animated styling is what makes them work as short-form social posts.
What languages are supported?
36+ languages via Deepgram Nova-3 auto-detect — including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Hindi, Japanese, Dutch, and more.
Will captions cover the speaker's face?
Not unless you want them to. Every line is draggable, so you can move captions above or below the talking head and keep the face and any lower-third clear.
What do I get when I export?
A standard burned-in MP4 with the captions rendered straight into the video at full resolution — uploadable to TikTok, Reels, Shorts, X / Twitter, LinkedIn, anywhere.
How long can an interview clip be?
Up to 2 minutes and 500 MB per file on the free tier, in portrait (9:16), landscape (16:9), or square (1:1).
