Each word gets its own start and end time, so captions change exactly when you speak instead of drifting behind.

Write it in Telugu script, in Roman letters, or Telugu with the English words left in English.
- Keywords that pop
AI picks the words that carry the meaning (names, numbers, the big idea) and templates make them bigger or brighter.

Burned-in captions for Reels, Shorts and WhatsApp, and an SRT file for YouTube and editors.
