AI Captions: burn TikTok-style subtitles into your takes

Captions massively increase watch time on TikTok, Reels and Shorts, but adding them by hand is slow. Teleprompter Premium+ does it automatically, right after you record.

How it works

  1. Record a take in camera mode (Record video while reading your script (camera mode)).
  2. When the take is saved, choose AI Captions.
  3. The app transcribes the audio on-device, with word-level timestamps.
  4. TikTok-style caption lines are burned into a new video file in your Photos. The original take stays untouched.

Style your captions

Open Settings → Captions to choose the font, color, background and position, with a live preview. Your style is remembered for every future take.

Why on-device matters

  • Private: your audio never leaves the phone.
  • Free of per-minute costs: no cloud transcription quotas.
  • Fast: no upload, no waiting on a server.
