How to add captions

  1. Record your screen with EveryCord with the microphone or app audio on, or open a recording you already made.
  2. In Recordings, open the video and choose Add captions.
  3. Allow speech recognition. EveryCord transcribes the speech, which can take a few minutes for a long video.
  4. EveryCord saves a new copy with the captions in Recordings. Save it to Photos or share it.

Good to know

  • Captions are generated from English speech.
  • The video needs audible speech. Clear audio gives better captions.
  • Transcription uses Apple’s speech recognition, which may process the audio on your device or on Apple’s servers.
  • The captions are part of the new video, so they show everywhere you share it.
