Key Benefits to using CaptionMaker & MacCaption with Timed Text Speech
Streamline your projects by having instant text results with timing sent directly to your captioning or subtitling project in CaptionMaker or MacCaption

Pay-as-you go price model – no wasted expense for idle transcription resources

You can also use the Timed Text Speech service directly on the Telestream Cloud website. Note: Timed Text Speech produces transcription files in a variety of formats (e.g. SRT); however, you will need CaptionMaker or MacCaption to use that timed text to produce finished, compliant captions in your video.
CaptionMaker and MacCaption with Timed Text Speech offer more than just a speech-to-text solution. Delivering captioned video to TV and Internet requires formatting, encoding, video transcode, and automated delivery. Telestream software has all the tools to create a true end-to-end solution for the video professional.
If you already own CaptionMaker or MacCaption, with version 7 or later, you can access the Timed Text Speech service directly by using the menu selection within your application.
If you don't own CaptionMaker or MacCaption software, you can download a free trial and put Timed Text Speech to the test.
