Minimal captions.

Small light text on a soft dark bar.

minimal captions on a sample clip, rendered by Captuno.

What it looks like

Clean, smaller text on a soft dark bar, a phrase at a time, with no animation. The bar keeps it legible over any picture without taking over the frame.

When you upload you can also choose how the words come in. It works in vertical and widescreen video, in any of the 14 languages Captuno knows.

Good for

  • Documentaries, interviews and long talks
  • Footage where the picture matters most
  • Captions that are there for accessibility first

How to get it

  1. Open the uploader in minimal and drop in an MP4 or MOV, up to 15 minutes and 2 GB. No account or credit card needed, just an email address.
  2. Captuno writes down what's said, times every word and renders the captions, then emails you a link.
  3. Watching the preview is free. The full-quality video and its .srt file cost $1.99 for every 3 minutes of video, or less with a pack of seconds.
