Hi Product Hunt! ✌️ I’m Jon, the creator of Caption This. Caption This is a iOS app I built while on vacation over Christmas. Caption This helps Instagram influencers boost engagement with their stories by adding closed captions to their videos. Often times, viewers skip stories if they can’t turn up their phone’s volume — if they’re in a public space or don’t have their headphones. Caption This is the solution to this problem. 🔥🔥🔥 🛠 Key Features: - Load videos from your camera roll, or shoot videos in the app - Custom styles for text: choose from a list of great fonts, and pick a custom background color (or no color at all) - Support for portrait & landscape videos Caption This is built with React Native and it's 100% open source (see the Github link in the social links section)

@jonbrennecke if ReactNative, why no Android version?

@_dwite_ great question! It is React Native, but it's only about 2/3 Javascript. The rest is native swift and Objective C. Most of that code is for the captions and transcriptions, which depends on the native iOS speech recognition API. Android has a similar speech API, but I haven't had made a react native bridge for it yet. That's definitely in the long-term plan though!

Looks like a great way to streamline the content creation process! Would be curious to know how accurate the transcription is? Is it built on an off-the-shelf NLC model?

@lachlankirkwood the transcript quality is great! It uses the built-in speech recognition system on iOS so the results are the same as what you get from Siri or dictation from the keyboard. Also, if there are errors in the transcription you have a chance to edit them before saving your captions.
