Frequently asked
Can I change the caption style after transcription?+
Yes. The transcript and visual style are separate, so you can switch presets or adjust the typography without transcribing again.
Do animated captions work for horizontal video?+
Yes. SoCaptions works with vertical, square, and landscape footage. The safest position and font size depend on the destination player.
Can I correct individual words?+
Yes. Review the transcript before export and fix names, numbers, punctuation, or any word the transcription missed.
