Auto Caption Generator
Auto caption generator workflows turn spoken content into on-screen words for your video ads. Sovran combines automatic captions with a transcription dictionary for preferred brand names and product terms. Review the words, choose a caption style, and check the result in your edit before you render the video for its next use.
Inspect the speech in your source
Open the source asset's Insights to review the spoken message and reusable moments before you prepare another video ad. These notes help you identify the names and product terms that may need a preferred spelling in your workspace. Check the source audio as well so you can distinguish a text error from words the speaker actually said.
Set the spelling your brand needs
Add or edit a dictionary rule that maps a source term to the spelling you want in new transcripts and automatic captions. For example, a rule can replace Sovereign with Sovran when transcription writes the wrong brand name. Review both fields carefully because the rule changes written text and does not control how a voice pronounces the name.
Preview changes before applying rules
Workspace owners and admins can preview how saved dictionary rules would affect existing transcripts and automatic caption files before applying them. The preview shows the number of items that can change, so you can inspect the scope before you proceed. Manual captions, editor drafts, and finished videos stay unchanged, with no media download or new transcription in this update.
Choose a style for new captions
Use the caption style picker in Voiceover Remixes to compare the available text presets before you create a draft. Choose a style that makes the spoken message easy to read over the footage you plan to use. Check the result in the draft because a style sample cannot show every product shot or background in your video.
Read the transcript in context
Open the source asset's Transcript tab to check the spoken lines and the way names appear in the stored text. Read the surrounding words when a term could have more than one meaning before deciding whether a dictionary rule fits. Review existing edits separately because correcting a source transcript does not rewrite captions already placed in an editor draft.
Check the actual finished video
Select a completed ad in Finished Videos and inspect the words that appear in the rendered frame before using it in a campaign. Text already burned into a video does not change when you update a dictionary rule or source transcript. Return to the edit and render a new version if an existing caption or text overlay needs correction.
