Auto captions for Japanese videos
Captions Cut transcribes Japanese (日本語) speech into word-by-word animated captions, on iPhone and in your browser. Pick Japanese as the spoken language or let Auto detect find it.
How Japanese captions work
- Import a clip on iPhone, or drop one at captionscut.com/edit.
- Choose Japanese as the spoken language, or leave it on Auto detect. The app shows the cost before it starts: 1 credit per second of audio.
- Only the audio track is uploaded for transcription and deleted right after; the video stays on your device.
- Fix any word, pick one of 48 styles, and export in 1080p or 4K.

Questions about Japanese captions
Does Captions Cut make captions in Japanese?
Yes. Choose Japanese as the spoken language, or leave it on Auto detect, and the Japanese speech in your clip becomes timed, word-by-word captions. This works in the iPhone app and in the web editor.
How accurate are automatic Japanese captions?
Good but not perfect, as with any automatic transcription. Clear speech close to the microphone transcribes best; names, slang, background music and people talking over each other cause mistakes. Every word stays editable, so read the captions before you post.
Can I translate Japanese captions into another language?
Yes, with Captions Cut Pro. The translation is shown as a second line under the Japanese captions, so viewers can read both. Translation runs on your iPhone with Apple’s on-device translation, and the languages it offers come from iOS.
What does a Japanese video cost to caption?
1 credit per second of audio, rounded up per video, whatever the language. A 60-second Japanese clip costs 60 credits. Pro includes credits every month; a 30 minutes pack (1,800 credits) costs $2.99 and never expires.
Is the app itself available in Japanese?
Yes. The Captions Cut interface is translated into Japanese, one of 47 app languages, and follows your iPhone’s language setting.
