Caption styles

Four caption styles, built from After Effects templates.

Ember, Ember Classic, Ephaphra and Halo. Each one is timed to every word you say, works in English, Tamil script and Tanglish, and switches in one click.

An English reel, captioned exactly as spoken.

Ember

Big stacked words. The word you are saying turns orange and grows.

Built from an After Effects templateUses a stand-in font

Ember Classic

Ember’s look in rows along the bottom of the frame, so your face stays clear.

Made from EmberUses a stand-in font

Ephaphra

Clean words on a dark card, the spoken word in blue. The closest of the four to its template.

Halo

Glowing yellow type on a dark card, for reels that want to feel loud.

These previews are a web sketch of each look. In the app, captions are drawn from the templates themselves.

What they all do

Timing

Timed to every word

Each caption page comes from what you said. The word you’re saying lights up as you say it.

They are built from After Effects templates and measured against them. Ephaphra is the closest; the others are close. Where a style uses a stand-in font, the app labels it.

You record. Lua does the rest.
