MixBit: Subtitles for Videos

Really simple and easy to use. The only thing I wish it had would be the ability to manually adjust where you want the captions, but other than that, I highly recommend.

So I’ve been using the app to help me automate captions. And it’s been descent. The auto-transcription definitely helps. I’ve been using “Brazilian,” which is funny cause the language is Portuguese from Brazil actually. No such thing as “Brazilian language.” And with that the transcription often messes up quite a bit of words. Which wouldn’t be a problem if it wasn’t a pain to edit them. The boxes for a word you erase or change doesn’t automatically delete, and no way of adding new tiny boxes within the bigger ones. Besides that altering the time stamps is a pain. If I wanna break down the subtitles into two separate sections, so they actually match the image better you can’t really extend the time further of the second one to actually match the time. You can only cut the first one shorter. You can also cut the time for the one right after but that just adds another text box rather than extending the one you wanted to go further. Besides that the last lacking element is positioning the subtitle. Also very limited positioning options. Maybe cause i used the tiktok template. Possible. In the settings what I’d also say is descent are some of the possibilities for color, and styles.

The app is really cool and user friendly. I love it, but couldn’t figure out how to remove the watermark which is the reason for my review. I needed to caption a video fairly quickly, so I downloaded the Subtitle app, but quickly realized I couldn’t download any video without purchase. I purchased the personal subscription. I was able to download my video, but not remove the caption, so I updated my subscription to the top tier (business) and still not allowed to use video without caption. Now I’m stuck with a $45 payment made to Subtitle and no video still. I canceled my subscription, and would love a refund. Instructions are not very clear on what’s included in each subscription.
