The short answer
Upload your video to Oyacut and it adds captions timed to each word. If a word is wrong, tap it and fix it. You can ask for bigger captions or pick a caption look, and export the video for Instagram Reels, TikTok or WhatsApp Status.
Why add captions?
Captions let people follow what you say when they cannot play the sound.
How are Oyacut captions made?
Oyacut writes captions from what you say and times them to each word. Tap any word to correct it. You can ask for different caption looks, such as simple captions, or big captions that act as visuals.
Does it work in Pidgin?
You can give your brief in English or Pidgin, and your own words stay in your video.
