Proofread like a document
The transcript reads as text beside the playing video, so checking names, figures and jargon is a read-through rather than a hunt along a timeline.
A VEED alternative for people who only need subtitles.
Everything in AutoCap serves one result: subtitles that are right, timed to the word, and ready as a file or burned into the video.

VEED is an online video editor with a lot under one roof: recording, editing, AI avatars, translation and subtitles.
That breadth is exactly what some teams want. For others, subtitles are the only reason the tab is open, and everything else is in the way.
AutoCap is built for that second group. It turns speech into a transcript you proofread like a document, keeps a timestamp on every word, and hands you the result in whichever form the platform asks for.
A subtitle tool, and nothing else.
A timestamp on every word
Move one word's start or end and the cue boundary moves with it, while the rest of the line keeps its timing.
SRT, VTT and TXT
Paid plans download subtitle files and a plain transcript from the same corrected text, ready for YouTube, LinkedIn, a course platform or a client.
Burned in when it has to be
The same subtitles can be rendered into an MP4 at up to 2K, at the source frame rate and with the original sound.
Files viewers can switch on
Closed captions in a subtitle file can be turned on, resized or read aloud by a screen reader, which burned-in text can't offer.
From video to subtitle file in four steps.
- 01
Bring in the video
Add an MP4 or MOV. Its soundtrack is transcribed and comes back with a time on every word.
- 02
Proofread
Read the transcript against the picture and correct whatever was misheard, especially names and numbers.
- 03
Check the cue breaks
Split or merge lines so each subtitle ends at a natural pause and stays short enough to read in time.
- 04
Export the file
Download SRT, VTT or TXT on a paid plan, or render the MP4 with the subtitles burned in.
When VEED is still the right tool
If your work spans recording, editing, avatars, translation and dubbing, an all-in-one editor keeps it in one place, and AutoCap covers only a slice of that.
AutoCap also doesn't translate. It transcribes speech in the language it was spoken, which is what captions for accessibility and most social posts call for.
- Stay with an all-in-one editor for recording, avatars, translation and dubbing
- Use AutoCap when the job is accurate subtitles in the language that was spoken
- Use both when the edit happens elsewhere and the subtitles come last
What makes a subtitle file good
A file can be perfectly in sync and still hard to read. Good cues stay up long enough to be read, break at a pause rather than mid-phrase, and keep to one or two short lines.
Because AutoCap keeps a time on every word, moving a cue boundary means choosing the word it should fall on, not dragging a bar until it looks about right.
Subtitles as an accessibility requirement
For many organizations, captions are part of meeting accessibility rules rather than a nice extra. A subtitle file serves viewers who rely on captions on platforms that read files; a burned-in version reaches them everywhere else.
AutoCap exports both from one corrected transcript, so the two never disagree about what was said.
Good to know.
Is AutoCap a replacement for VEED?
Only for subtitles. AutoCap doesn't record, edit timelines, generate avatars or translate; it transcribes, lets you correct and style the words, and exports them.
Can I download SRT files from AutoCap?
Yes, on any paid plan, together with VTT and a plain-text TXT transcript. The free plan exports a captioned MP4 with a small watermark.
Is there a free VEED alternative for subtitles?
AutoCap's free plan covers 2 minutes of transcription a month, on clips of up to 60 seconds, with no card required. Subtitle files and exports without a watermark start at $19 a month.
Does AutoCap translate subtitles?
No. It transcribes speech in whichever of its 39 languages was spoken, and doesn't translate it into others.
Is AutoCap affiliated with VEED?
No. The two products have no connection; VEED is mentioned only so this page can compare them.

The free plan needs no card. Upload a clip, check the captions yourself, and only upgrade when you want the watermark gone.
