Perfect for podcasters

Podcast captions aren't just for accessibility — they expand your reach. Captioned clips get more engagement on social media, and a searchable podcast transcript improves SEO for your episode pages. CaptionFit makes podcast transcription and captioning as fast as possible, so you can focus on recording.

Whether you run a solo show or host guest interviews, CaptionFit handles it. Paste your script or show notes to pre-correct names and brand terms before the auto-transcription even finishes. Export your SRT file for YouTube or a burned-in MP4 for Instagram and TikTok clips.

If your podcast includes video content, also explore tools for YouTube closed captions. And if you're repurposing episodes as social clips, see how businesses use CaptionFit for webinar captions to get the most from long-form recordings.

FAQ

Common questions

How do I add captions to a podcast episode?
Upload your podcast audio or video file to CaptionFit. It auto-transcribes the episode, or you can paste your existing transcript. Review the text, fix any errors, and export an SRT caption file or a captioned audiogram clip.
How accurate is auto-transcription for podcasts?
CaptionFit's transcription is highly accurate for clear conversational audio. For specialized terms, guest names, or show-specific phrases, you can paste your script or notes to correct the transcript before exporting.
Can I fix wrong words in the podcast transcript?
Yes. After auto-transcription, the full transcript is editable in the browser. Click any word to correct it — the timing stays locked to the audio, so your captions stay in sync.
