About MakeCaption

Our Mission

MakeCaption was born from a simple observation: adding captions to videos shouldn't be complicated, expensive, or require uploading your content to third-party servers. We believe every content creator deserves access to professional-quality captioning tools, regardless of their budget or technical expertise.

The Problem We Solve

In today's social media landscape, captions are essential. Studies show that 85% of videos on Facebook are watched without sound, and videos with captions see up to 40% more engagement. Yet, many captioning tools are either:

• Expensive with monthly subscription fees
• Require uploading videos to external servers (privacy concern)
• Add watermarks to free versions
• Complicated to use for beginners

MakeCaption solves all of these problems.

How It Works

MakeCaption uses cutting-edge AI technology to automatically transcribe your videos and generate beautifully styled captions. Here's what makes us different:

• 100% Browser-Based: All processing happens locally on your device using WebAssembly technology. Your videos never leave your computer.
• AI-Powered Accuracy: We use OpenAI's Whisper model through Hugging Face Transformers for state-of-the-art speech recognition.
• Real-Time Preview: See exactly how your captions will look before exporting.
• Customizable Styles: Adjust fonts, colors, shadows, animations, and positioning to match your brand.

Our Technology

MakeCaption is built with modern web technologies:

• Whisper AI: OpenAI's powerful speech recognition model, running locally in your browser
• FFmpeg.wasm: Industry-standard video processing compiled to WebAssembly
• Next.js: A modern React framework for fast, reliable performance
• WebAssembly: Near-native performance for heavy processing tasks

Who We Are

MakeCaption is developed by a passionate developer who believes in creating useful tools for the creator community. We're committed to keeping MakeCaption free, private, and continuously improving.

We're not a faceless corporation—we're creators ourselves who understand the challenges of content creation. That's why we built the tool we wished existed.

Looking Forward

We're constantly working to improve MakeCaption. Some things we're exploring:

• More language support and translation features
• Additional caption animation styles
• Template presets for different platforms
• Improved accuracy for technical vocabulary
