Automatic captions inside Premiere Pro.

Sylba transcribes speech on your own computer, times it word by word and sends it to the timeline in the style you pick. The Captions section is free: no time limit, no usage limit and no watermark.

What's in the Captions section?

Word-by-word timing

Speech is transcribed word by word; each word appears the moment it is spoken. Works in Turkish, English and other languages.

No time or usage limit

The Captions section is free; there is no video length limit, no monthly quota and no watermark.

Three ways out

Send the same text to the timeline as animated captions, SRT or Dynamic Text.

Translation into 27 languages

Translate the generated captions into another language with one click in the panel.

SRT import and export

Export captions as SRT, or turn an existing SRT file into animated captions.

Your video stays on your computer

Speech is transcribed locally; your video is never sent to a server.

Fix, split, merge

On the review screen, edit the text, split or merge lines, and make words bold or highlighted.

Common questions

How do captions arrive on the timeline?

Animated captions are added as graphics on a separate video track; if you choose SRT they go to Premiere's own caption track.

Can I change the caption font and color?

Yes. Font, color, outline and highlight color are set in the panel, and you can use the fonts installed on your computer.
