Auto Captions

Add animated captions to your stream clips

Captions are the single biggest factor in whether someone watches your clip with the sound off - and most social media viewers do. StreamLadder's Clip Editor transcribes your audio automatically and syncs captions word-by-word so they hit at exactly the right moment.

Choose from animated styles like karaoke highlight, pop-in, and classic subtitle. Edit any word the AI gets wrong, adjust timing on the timeline, and change fonts and colors to match your brand. Pair captions with custom layouts to create polished vertical clips ready for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts.

Captions do more than accessibility - they boost watch time and retention. Viewers who read along stay longer, and platforms reward that with more reach. With StreamLadder, you get broadcast-quality captions without touching a subtitle editor.

Once your captions look right, add animated stickers or zoom effects to highlight the best moments. When you're done, publish directly to every platform with the Content Publisher.
