Frequently Asked Questions

How does karaoke-style highlighting work?
The full phrase appears on screen, and each word lights up with a yellow highlight as it's spoken. This creates a karaoke-like effect that guides the viewer through the text in real time.
Can I use this for music videos?
Yes — karaoke captions work great for music videos, lyric videos, and any content where you want viewers to follow along word by word. Whisper handles singing reasonably well for clear vocals.
