Questions about Swahili captions
Does Captions Cut make captions in Swahili?
Yes. Choose Swahili as the spoken language, or leave it on Auto detect, and the Swahili 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 Swahili 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 Swahili captions into another language?
Yes, with Captions Cut Pro. The translation is shown as a second line under the Swahili 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 Swahili video cost to caption?
1 credit per second of audio, rounded up per video, whatever the language. A 60-second Swahili clip costs 60 credits. Pro includes credits every month; a 30 minutes pack (1,800 credits) costs $2.99 and never expires.
