The bottleneck
Uncaptioned video loses viewers — fast.
Captioning by hand is slow.
Transcribing a clip, timing every line, and matching it to the cut can take longer than making the video — so it gets skipped, every time you're in a hurry.
Most social video plays on mute.
No captions, no message. Viewers scroll past in silence and your reach quietly leaks away. An estimated 85% of social video is watched on mute.
Manual SRT sync is error-prone.
Off-by-a-second timing, typos, and re-typed transcripts mean rework — and your words get re-keyed from scratch every time you want to repurpose them.
From upload to captioned
Captioned and published in minutes, not hours
Three steps stand between your raw clip and a fully-captioned video.

Transcribe any layer
Pick any video or audio layer and hit Transcribe — ElevenLabs Scribe v2 and Azure OpenAI gpt-4o-transcribe turn it into a word-level transcript in seconds.
- 02
Translate to any language
Translate the transcript in a click, so you can caption and reach audiences in every market you publish to.

Caption & export

Why Ekly, not the alternatives
Captions in the same place you edit and export.
Manual captioning is slow and error-prone. Standalone caption tools mean another export and another upload. Ekly transcribes, styles, and burns in — all in one editor.
The old way
- Transcribing and timing every line by hand
- Off-by-a-second SRT sync and typos to fix
- Bouncing between a separate caption tool and your editor
- Re-typing the transcript to repurpose it
