iCaption

       Mac OS

With iCaption, creating video subtitles or captions from scratch is extremely easy, even without prior experience in subtitle or transcript creation. Its simple-to-use interface utilizes timeline based editing. The soft subtitle formats currently supported are SubRip and YouTube.

What are soft subtitles? Soft sub files are stored separately from the video file. They are called soft, because they are not hard-encoded into each video frame; they are rendered in real-time as you play the video. Most modern video players support soft subs and can manage multiple files for quick and easy swapping of languages.

Features and Capabilities:

- A robust, elegant user interface.
- Powerful timeline editing, with or without a reference video loaded.
- Waveform visualization and subtitle visualization in the same timeline view.
- Transfer subtitle times from the reference video or the timeline selection.
- Shortcuts for adding subtitles to the timeline in real-time while the movie is playing.
- Automatically determine the subtitle duration.
- Real-time checking and visualization for overlapping subtitle times.
- Easily adjust all subtitle times by one offset value.
- Search subtitles allows you to filter the subtitle list.
- Previewing allows you to test subtitles without an external viewer.
- Create, edit, open and save YouTube (.sbv) files.
- Create, edit, open and save SubRip (.srt) files.
- Convert SubRip to YouTube format and vice versa.
- Complete abstraction from the subtitle file formats.
- Support for opening subtitle files with various types of text encoding.
- Search an online database for known translations.
- Preferences for user customization.
- Up-to-date documentation.

***********************************************************
Note: the developer isn't notified whenever a review is written, so if you are unsatisfied, run into any issues, or just have ideas to make the app work better for you, contact the developer directly with your concern (using the Support link, or the Support menu item in the application's Help menu).

Providing your feedback directly can be more helpful in getting you what you need out of the application. The developer is always looking for constructive criticism and back-and-forth discussion in order to improve on, what he believes, an already quality product.

Of course not every feature suggestion can be met, but there are already several features in the application which were made by request from the customers.

Another reason to contact the developer directly before reviewing, is that Apple does not allow developers to respond to these reviews, so we can't help ease your frustration, which might have an easy solution.
