Your video is done.
The writing isn't.

Yes — that's where it earns its keep. Standard auto-captions fall apart with non-American accents and industry jargon. This one adapts: fix a word once, and it sticks across every future video. If your videos get mangled by YouTube's auto-captions, run one through and compare.

Yes. You get a clean, standard SRT that imports into Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and Final Cut Pro like any other caption file. No proprietary format, no lock-in — it's your file.

No. Most creators publish the same video in several places, and each one wants its own text: a YouTube description with chapters, a caption that fits TikTok's limit, a LinkedIn post, a full blog post, a newsletter issue. One video in — publish-ready text for every platform you use, video or text. The blog post isn't a transcript with headers glued on; it's written to be read.

Castmagic is built for podcasters doing show notes. This is built for video creators: chapters formatted to YouTube's exact 0:00 spec, descriptions structured the way the algorithm actually reads them, text formatted per platform, and a recognizer that adapts to your accent and jargon across videos. Also — $1 once for 3 months, not $9/month forever.

An audio file is enough — MP3, WAV, M4A, whatever you've got. Video works too: MP4 and MOV up to 4GB. Or just paste a link. No file at hand? Drop in an SRT you already have.

They're processed, then deleted. We don't train on your content, we don't store it, and we don't share it. The only thing that persists is your personal dictionary of terms — so the tool gets better for you, not richer off you.

$1 once gets you 3 months: 5 hours per month (that covers roughly 15–30 videos), unused hours roll over — nothing expires. After 3 months you can move to $9/month. No, there's no catch — we'd rather have 30 invested founders than 300 ambivalent subscribers.

Email us within 14 days of a charge and we'll refund that month in full, no questions asked. You keep everything you generated. The risk is on us — that's the whole point of a founder deal.

If you can drag a file into a browser window, you're overqualified. No API keys, no settings to configure — drop the video, copy the results.

Descriptions come in English first (that's where we can guarantee quality). Caption transcription handles multiple languages — if yours isn't listed at checkout, ask us before buying and we'll tell you straight.

The first video might not be perfect. It's the tenth where we shine — because we remember every correction you made. Generic tools sell you a fixed accuracy number that holds up until it meets your accent. We sell convergence: every video you run through your recognizer comes out cleaner than the last. Competitors charge you to re-generate after fixing one word; we just never make that mistake again.
