The bottleneck

Uncaptioned video loses viewers — fast.

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

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
