CapSnip
Subtitles for your videos, generated on your own PC.
See it in use
CapSnip turns raw video into styled, readable captions without uploading anything. Transcription runs locally with a Whisper speech model, so your footage never leaves your computer, and there is no per-minute charge for using it.
One-time purchase in US dollars. No subscription. Bought through the Microsoft Store, Microsoft handles the purchase and sets the price in your local currency, so it may differ from the price above.
What it does
Transcription that runs offline
CapSnip downloads its speech model once during first-run setup and verifies it with a SHA-256 checksum. Every transcription after that happens on your machine. No account, no upload, no usage metering.
Word-level timing
Captions are timed per word rather than per line, which is what short-form edits need. Each word carries its own in and out point, and you can nudge any boundary by hand.
Caption styles with live preview
Bounce, Glowy Bounce, Karaoke Step, Karaoke Slide, Pill Box, Stretch, Outline and Plain, each with its own colours and opacity, previewed as you adjust them.
Cleanup passes
Exclude filler words so they never reach the caption, and optionally cut silent stretches automatically for a jump-cut feel.
Export where you need it
SRT, Word SRT, VTT and TTML as subtitle files, or burn the captions into an MP4. Encoding uses your GPU when one is available and falls back to the CPU when it is not.
Language control
Auto-detect, or pin transcription to English, Turkish or Arabic.

What the free trial includes
The free trial runs for 1 day from first launch.
The trial is not cut down: transcription, every caption style and every export format are available during it, including burned-in MP4. No payment details are needed to start it, and nothing is watermarked. When the 24 hours are up the app stops working until a licence key is entered. Anything you already exported stays yours.
