"Started with the free version and was blown away by the accuracy. Upgraded to Pro within a week for batch processing. This extension saves me hours every week on client projects."
"The fact that it works 100% offline is a game-changer for me. I work with confidential client videos and can't upload audio anywhere. Auto Captions keeps everything on my machine. Accuracy is on par with cloud services."
"I use this for my Hindi and Hinglish content. The Medium model handles Hinglish amazingly well — something most tools struggle with. The animation presets save me so much time. Seriously the best AE caption tool out there."
