Video caption generator
A video caption generator built for posting, not just transcribing.
Headroom adds captions to short-form videos with word-timed styles, quick inline edits, and a 1080p export that is actually ready to post.
The retention layer for short-form content. No card needed to start.

timed to the moment
Captions you would actually keep.
A good caption generator stays out of the way: words appear in rhythm with speech, styles match the tone, and the export is ready for Reels, Shorts, or any short-form feed.
- Word-timed captions from speech
- Styles built for short-form readability
- Inline edits without rebuilding timing
- MP4 with captions burned in, or SRT
Problem
Most caption generators stop one step too early.
Plenty of tools can put words on a video. Far fewer help you finish the post: layout, style, edits, safe placement, and export in formats your workflow already uses.
Raw caption tracks need polish
Transcripts on video rarely look ready without size, font, and placement decisions.
Style switching is painful
Many tools force you to re-render every time you want to try a different look.
Output options are limited
Sometimes you need MP4 with captions burned in; sometimes you need SRT for an editor.

Start with word-timed captions instead of typing them by hand.
Style without redoing the edit
Swap caption styles to test what fits before exporting.
Export in the format you need
Captioned MP4 in 1080p, or SRT for downstream editing.
