Generating video captions with AI

Captions are essential for making video content accessible to a broader audience, including those with hearing impairments, but manual captioning can be tedious and time-consuming. AI video caption generators offer a solution by using advanced algorithms to efficiently transcribe audio into text, providing advantages such as cost-effectiveness, speed, accuracy, multilingual support, and enhanced accessibility. The article reviews three AI tools: Pictory, Adobe Express, and Kapwing, each having unique features and limitations. Pictory is praised for its ease of use, Adobe Express for its cost-effectiveness as a free tool, and Kapwing for its exceptional accuracy and language translation options, although it has a more complex interface. Ultimately, the choice of tool depends on the user's priorities, whether it's ease of use, budget, or transcription accuracy, with AI tools significantly simplifying the captioning process.
