Italian captions on every clip, word by word

There's no language to choose. For a YouTube link, Clyper takes the video's language from YouTube; for an upload, or when YouTube doesn't say, it hears it in the speech. If a YouTube video has dubbed audio tracks, Clyper uses the original one, so a Italian video is captioned in Italian, not in a dub.

The speech is transcribed word by word, with the moment each word starts and ends, and the video's title is used as a hint, so names in it come out right more often. Each clip's captions are built from those times: a few words at a time, with a new caption at the end of a sentence, at a comma and at a pause, so a caption never runs across two thoughts.

The captions are burned into the clip, so they look the same on TikTok, Reels and Shorts, with nothing to upload separately. More on styles, size and placement in how to caption short videos.

In Italian the accent changes the word: è (is) and e (and), più, perché, città. In the styles written in capitals Clyper keeps the accented capital: È STATA LA, SCELTA PIÙ, never E' or PIU. Apostrophes stay inside the word, so l'idea and c'è stay one word on one caption. Plain keeps the line in sentence case.

Italian words run long: sinceramente, difficile, assolutamente. Pop caps a caption at 3 words and 15 characters, so a word like SINCERAMENTE often gets a caption to itself and the line stays easy to read at a glance. A word wider than the frame is shrunk to fit, never cut off.

All 5 styles work in Italian: switch between them on the preview above. Pop is on every plan, Starter included; Pro and Studio add the other 4, and styles of your own.

• Pop: Three words at a time. The spoken word turns blue with a quick pop. Every plan.
• Karaoke: The whole line stays up and fills with yellow as each word is said. Pro and Studio.
• Highlight: The spoken word gets a bright yellow highlight. Pro and Studio.
• One word: One big word at a time, popping in as it's said. Pro and Studio.
• Plain: Calm subtitles in sentence case on a soft dark band, no animation. Pro and Studio.

On Pro and Studio, each clip opens with its hook as a headline in a box at the top for the first 4 seconds, like the one on the preview above. It's written in the video's language, so a Italian clip opens with a Italian headline. Reword or remove it on any clip in the editor, or switch headlines off for a video before you start it.

Clyper captions 50+ languages, each in the right font for its script. See how it handles these, or read about captions in every language.
