Quality metrics (characters per line and characters per second) are now visible within Captionfy's editor.

Hovering them shows you the recommended values, which are industry standards (usually between 40-42 CPL and 20 CPS).

There is some maintenance going in Captionfy's host providers. Please expect some possible instability and write if you face any issues.

Starting with existing captions from YouTube is now possible and a major time saver to just fix the YouTube auto-generated subtitles.

The user profile page was having issues on small devices and these should be fixed now. You can edit your profile and check your work using your phone.

By hitting ctrl + K (cmd + K on a Mac), you can see the editor shortcuts to make your captioning process faster.

A blog post which mentions what I believe to be very neglected/ignored in general on YouTube - the benefit of having a community helping make a YouTuber's video accessible.

You can now sort the videos in your playlist by going to the playlist page and clicking "Sort subtitles".

It automatically saves the new order.

You may have noticed that every time you edit your subtitles, it triggers an auto-save.

Today #captionfy has introduced a warning in case your internet connection drops, so that you make sure to download your work, or check your connection.

You can "try again" as well 👀

If you were facing issues with adding new captions within the editor, this should now be solved with the button above the timeline 😉

[captionfy @captionfy]

Some users have reported lagging issues in the editor when dragging subtitle blocks in the timeline - if you experience this, feel free to reach out with a message to help investigate the root cause.

Incredible how much performance improvement https://t.co/z0aqnY3eoz got after switching from an Angular app to @nextjs

Completely worth it the time to rebuild the platform. Along with performance improvements, the development speed / experience has got much better 👀

Caption Requests are now back to live on the new version 👀

If you are having issues with your profile page not loading subtitles properly, please logout and login again as it might be an issue with the website update.

Crazy how the idea has changed from the first version until now 😮

[Baptiste @BaptisteVicini]

These kids sold a video-sharing website for $1.65 billion in 2006.

Then vanished overnight.

Today, that site is worth over $455 BILLION dollars.

Here's why they walked away from the most valuable website in history:

Looking for feedback on the new layout 👀

If you find something you don't like or miss from the previous version, you are welcome to send a feedback 🙂

Coming soon:
- Updated version of Caption Requests

⚡️ #captionfy has just made a few updates that should make its usage easier:

@natelawrence Hi @natelawrence , somehow I have missed this tweet. This looks very cool and I played around with it already, definitely an idea to incorporate it on Captionfy 😃 Thanks for the tip!

Captionfy now integrates with #OpenAI's Whisper, an automatic speech recognition #AI model.

You can test Whisper's accuracy by creating YouTube subtitles on #captionfy. All you need is a YouTube video link and a free Captionfy account.

I am so used to watching video previews without sound and just the subtitles. Crazy how so many videos on YouTube are still with very bad auto-generated subtitles, or none at all.
