Why it is useful
- Turns one long video (podcast, sermon, interview, livestream) into many short vertical clips for TikTok, Reels and Shorts.
- Picks the best moments itself: clips that open on a hook and end on a complete thought, so nobody has to scrub through hours of footage.
- Burns in word-by-word captions automatically, because most people watch short videos with the sound off.
- Built for African creators: it handles Nigerian English, Pidgin and Yoruba mixed together, where most caption tools fail.
- Runs on your own computer with no paid AI services, so there are no monthly bills and videos stay private.
What it does
It transcribes the video on your own machine, finds moments that open on a hook and end on a complete thought, then cuts them into vertical clips with word-by-word captions in a few styles.
Built for Nigerian creators
It is tuned for speech that mixes Nigerian English, Pidgin and Yoruba, which most caption tools handle badly. Because everything runs locally, there are no API bills.
