Captions for TikTok, Reels and Shorts

Most short videos are watched on mute: captions are the difference between scrolling past and staying. With TraScrivo you get them in a minute, with correct timing, ready for your editor.

How it works, step by step

  1. Export the video from your phone or editor as mp4 (the original camera file, mov, works too).
  2. Upload the file to trascrivo.com: the audio track is extracted automatically.
  3. Press Transcribe and download the SRT. Import it into CapCut, Premiere, DaVinci or whatever you use: the captions appear already in sync.

Synced SRT, then the styling

The SRT file holds each phrase with start and end times: the editor places them at the right moment. Only the creative part is left — fonts, colours, highlighted words. If you prefer TikTok's or Instagram's auto captions, use the TXT to fix their mistakes by copy and paste.

Tips for vertical video

Short phrases work best on a small screen: split a long line in two in your editor. Check names, numbers and hashtags, the easiest words to get wrong. With loud music under the voice, export a voice-only version for the transcription if you can.

FAQ

Can I paste a TikTok link directly?

No, you need the video file: download it from the app (your videos) or from the editor.

Does the SRT work with CapCut?

Yes: CapCut, Premiere, Final Cut, DaVinci and most editors import .srt files.

What if the video is in another language?

No problem: TraScrivo transcribes 8 languages and detects them automatically.
