<b>Auto-caption tools, compared on accuracy not hype</b>
Burned-in captions lift retention by a wide margin. These get you there fastest:
—
<a href="#">Premiere's Built-in Speech-to-Text</a> [free] — included, surprisingly accurate, full style control, no upload.
—
<a href="#">Resolve Studio Auto Subtitle</a> [tutorial] via Jason Yadlovski — on-device, private, Studio only.
—
<a href="#">CapCut Auto Captions</a> [free] — fast for quick social, but check the punctuation pass.
—
<a href="#">Whisper (local)</a> [free] via OpenAI — open-source, runs offline, best raw accuracy if you're CLI-comfortable.
For brand work, stay in Premiere or Resolve so nothing leaves your machine. For volume, CapCut wins on speed. Tools credited to their makers above.
