Strong product with very good support
I bought CaptionBolt with a focus on lyric videos for my songs. Unfortunately, I had an error in the transcript of my first song, missing about 30 seconds from the subtitles. I contacted Matt by email and received the first response within an hour. Since the first proposed solution was not yet successful, I sent Matt my song file for analysis. Within just 24 hours, Matt and his team added the "Deep Scan" function in the text editor. It worked with this (except for a few small text corrections, but that´s fine). In addition, they added the animated previews for the captions in the video editor – which makes it much easier to choose the numerous caption styles. For me, this is almost perfect support (unfortunately, many providers underestimate the importance of fast and good support – especially if they are still at the beginning).
Otherwise, CaptionBolt is simply a strong product for me. The UI is simple and intuitive. The setting options are numerous and the workflow is simple and fast. The video editor fulfills all the necessary functions, but is not comparable to professional video editors (e.g. FlexClip). But CaptionBolt is not made for that either. Looking forward to the desktop application.
There are still a few minor improvements, but they don't diminish the positive overall impression.
If you work with videos and want to add professional subtitles easily and quickly and want basic editing functions in the video editor, you should definitely go for CaptionBolt.
I wish Matt and his team continued success and hope for sustainable product development so that I can continue to use CaptionBolt for a long time to come.

Oct 30, 2026I really appreciate you sending over your song file. Having real-world audio examples is what made it possible for us to diagnose the exact issue, roll out Deep scan, and implement the animated style previews you suggested in under 24 hours. Collaboration like this is genuinely what helps us build a better tool.
You hit the nail on the head regarding our focus: CaptionBolt is built to generate fast, engaging animated subtitles with a frictionless workflow, rather than being a bloated, complex timeline editor.
We’re committed to sustainable, long-term development and are actively working on upcoming improvements—including native workflow updates and more export options.
Thank you again for your trust and support. Wishing you great success with your songs and lyric videos!
