How it works

The platform is used by broadcasters, event producers, and e-learning companies that need to caption large amounts of content quickly. It supports live captioning for broadcasts and on-demand captioning for recorded video, with human review available for higher accuracy.

SyncWords is a professional captioning service rather than a consumer app. Its pay-per-use pricing means you only pay for the minutes you caption, which suits organizations with variable workloads.
