Direct answer
Reviral's AI caption generator adds word-aligned video captions to an uploaded clip. It transcribes the speech, lets you choose from 22 animated caption styles and top, middle, or bottom placement, then burns the selected treatment into the exported video. It is for visible video captions, not social-post caption writing or a separate transcript file.
Ways to use this tool

Style a Reel draft with animated captions and choose a placement that avoids covering the main subject.

Limits to know before you start
- No accuracy percentage is promised; accents, crosstalk, noise, names, and specialist vocabulary can produce transcription errors.
- The route does not create a social-media post caption, detect speakers, or produce a separate SRT or VTT download.
- Captions are burned into the video and cannot be toggled off as a platform subtitle track.
- The caption charge follows the duration chosen in the creator rather than measuring the uploaded clip's length.
What it costs
Captioning costs 244 credits (~$1.93) at the creator's 15-second default duration setting. The charge follows the duration you set there, not your upload's length.
