Who captions in English
- Global creators on YouTube, TikTok and Instagram who want animated, creator-style captions rather than plain subtitles.
- Podcasters and educators who need both a styled clip and an SRT or VTT file for the full episode.
- Non-English speakers who want key-point captions in English over a video recorded in their own language.
Tips for better English captions
- Short lines — two to four words — keep pace with fast English delivery on vertical video.
- Add names, brands and jargon to your vocabulary once so they are spelled correctly every time.
- For accessibility, export an SRT or VTT alongside the burned-in version.

Frequently asked questions
Can I get English captions for a video in another language?
Yes — translate the captions into English with timing kept, or use important captions with English output to show only the key points in English.
Does Samsaam handle different English accents?
Yes, the transcription is not limited to one accent. Strong background noise and overlapping speakers affect accuracy more than accent does, so review the words before exporting.
