Auto subtitle generator withevery font on your PC
Shorz transcribes your video and captions it word by word — then hands you the styling controls web tools won't: your own fonts, your own colours, 16 animations, and highlight-on-the-spoken-word.
How to use the auto subtitle generator in three steps
Captions are not optional any more — most of your audience watches muted. But web caption tools give you six stock fonts and a dropdown, so every video ends up looking like every other video. Shorz runs on your desktop, which means every font you've ever installed is in the picker, and the styling goes far deeper than colour.
Drop in the video
Import a file or paste a YouTube, TikTok, Facebook or Instagram link. Shorz transcribes the audio and builds the caption track with word-level timing — nothing to type.
Transcribed automatically
Style them like your brand
Pick any font on your system. Set fill, stroke, highlight and background colours, choose a background pill or gradient, control size, position and capitalisation.
Your fonts, your colours
Add motion, then export
Choose from 16 word animations — fade, zoom, bounce, slide and more — and turn on highlight-spoken-word so the active word pops. Captions are burned in, so they survive every re-upload.
Burned in · never watermarked

Why Auto Subtitle Generator in Shorz
Highlight the word being spoken
The retention trick every short-form editor uses: each word lights up exactly as it's said. Shorz has word-level timing from the transcript, so it lands on the syllable — not roughly near it.
Highlight mode
Captions in 108 languages
Turn on dubbing and the captions re-generate against the new audio, in the new language, still word-perfect. One video becomes ten localised videos without touching the caption panel again.

Auto Subtitle Generator questions
No. Shorz transcribes the audio itself and builds a word-timed caption track. You only touch the text if you want to fix a name or trim a filler word.
Yes — any font installed on your computer. That's the practical advantage of a desktop app over a web caption tool, which locks you into a short fixed list.
No. Subtitles are free for everyone, including on free Auto Edit and Clipping runs. Only the paid extras — dubbing, AI B-roll, AI music — spend credits.
Yes, they're rendered into the exported file, so they look identical everywhere and can't be switched off by a platform's player. Shorz never adds a watermark alongside them.
Yes — size, position and alignment are all controllable, along with capitalisation mode, stroke width, background pills and gradients.
