FAQ
Why does it say the video has no captions?
We only read captions that YouTube already provides. We do not download YouTube videos. For videos without captions, upload a file you have the rights to.
Are auto-generated captions supported?
Yes. They are marked as auto-generated so you know they may need more editing.
