Auto captions, word by word, in 28 animations

Most people watch with the sound off, so a video without captions loses them in the first second. Zera listens to your video and writes captions that appear word by word, right as each word is said, in the style you pick: 28 animations, any font and colour, with glow and outline.

1 credit a minute for Auto, English and Hindi, 3 credits a minute for Hinglish, charged by the second. New phones get 50 free credits once.
