captionfy

The community captions page now includes a search bar for playlists and videos captioned within the platform. You can search for video titles, translated video titles, channel info and playlist names. Check it out: captionfy.com/community

Quality metrics (characters per line and characters per second) are now visible within Captionfy's editor. Hovering them shows you the recommended values, which are industry standards (usually between 40-42 CPL and 20 CPS). Check it out on captionfy.com

There is some maintenance going in Captionfy's host providers. Please expect some possible instability and write if you face any issues.

Starting with existing captions from YouTube is now possible and a major time saver to just fix the YouTube auto-generated subtitles.

The user profile page was having issues on small devices and these should be fixed now. You can edit your profile and check your work using your phone.

By hitting ctrl + K (cmd + K on a Mac), you can see the editor shortcuts to make your captioning process faster.

A blog post which mentions what I believe to be very neglected/ignored in general on YouTube - the benefit of having a community helping make a YouTuber's video accessible. captionfy.com/blog/subtitles…

Captionfy's blog is now back at captionfy.com/blog Here you can find tutorials and some articles regarding subtitles and their benefits for any YouTuber and fan.

You can now sort the videos in your playlist by going to the playlist page and clicking "Sort subtitles". It automatically saves the new order. Check it out captionfy.com

You may have noticed that every time you edit your subtitles, it triggers an auto-save. Today #captionfy has introduced a warning in case your internet connection drops, so that you make sure to download your work, or check your connection. You can "try again" as well 👀

If you were facing issues with adding new captions within the editor, this should now be solved with the button above the timeline 😉

Some users have reported lagging issues in the editor when dragging subtitle blocks in the timeline - if you experience this, feel free to reach out with a message to help investigate the root cause.

Incredible how much performance improvement captionfy.com got after switching from an Angular app to @nextjs Completely worth it the time to rebuild the platform. Along with performance improvements, the development speed / experience has got much better 👀

Caption Requests are now back to live on the new version 👀 Check it out at captionfy.com/caption-reques…

If you are having issues with your profile page not loading subtitles properly, please logout and login again as it might be an issue with the website update.

Crazy how the idea has changed from the first version until now 😮

Looking for feedback on the new layout 👀 If you find something you don't like or miss from the previous version, you are welcome to send a feedback 🙂 Coming soon: - Updated version of Caption Requests - Automatic line-break feature in the editor #captionfy

⚡️ #captionfy has just made a few updates that should make its usage easier: - Simpler process for setting up YouTube automation (getting videos captioned automatically after posting them on YouTube) - Overall speed of the platform (especially for profile pages) Check it out ⚡️

@natelawrence Hi @natelawrence , somehow I have missed this tweet. This looks very cool and I played around with it already, definitely an idea to incorporate it on Captionfy 😃 Thanks for the tip!

@captionfy Hi, friend, Please consider upgrading from Whisper to WhisperX so that every single word detected has its own beginning and end timecodes. github.com/m-bain/whisperX If you want to try it out without figuring out installation, check out: replicate.com/victor-upmeet/…

Captionfy now integrates with #OpenAI's Whisper, an automatic speech recognition #AI model. You can test Whisper's accuracy by creating YouTube subtitles on #captionfy. All you need is a YouTube video link and a free Captionfy account. Read more here: captionfy.com/blog/captionfy…

I am so used to watching video previews without sound and just the subtitles. Crazy how so many videos on YouTube are still with very bad auto-generated subtitles, or none at all.
