Words that stay on the screen, not in a side file
The point of speech to text here isn't a transcript you have to manage — it's a video people can actually watch with the words right there. Recapo recognizes the speech, writes it out as captions, and bakes them into the frame, so the finished clip plays with its text anywhere: muted in a feed, on a phone, in a player that strips out subtitle tracks. One file, captions included, nothing to attach.

Social and feed videos
ship a captioned cut that reads with the sound off, no subtitle file to manage.
From spoken audio to a finished captioned video
AI does the listening and the writing in one pass: it recognizes the speech, turns it into caption lines that follow the timing of the talk, and renders them into the picture. What comes out is a single captioned video — not a script, not a file to sync later — ready to preview on the page and download as MP4. Speech goes in; a watchable, captioned cut comes out.

Frequently asked questions
Do I get a text file or a video?
A video. Recapo turns the spoken words into captions and burns them into the picture, so you download a finished captioned MP4 — the words live on screen with the footage, not in a separate transcript file.
Do I upload audio or a video?
Upload a video. Recapo listens to the speech in its audio, writes it out as captions, and renders those captions back into the same video — so what you download is the captioned clip.
What if a name or technical term comes out wrong?
AI recognition handles clear speech well, including most names and jargon in context. The captions are timed to the speech and burned into the final video, so the words stay matched to what's being said on screen.
How is this different from the caption generator?
Speech to Text gives you a full editable transcript of the words for use in scripts, notes, or search. The caption generator is aimed at producing time-synced subtitle lines to display on screen. Many creators transcribe first, edit the text, then build captions from it.
