Fix wrong auto captions on your phone instead of living with them

Auto captions are never perfect. It gets annoying when you can't fix them properly or everything is forced to appear one word at a time. In Teleprompter Cut every line can be edited. And if you record with the teleprompter, the text is right from the start, because the app already knows it.

Complaints: our own review of 139 public 1- and 2-star ratings of six teleprompter, caption and editing apps on Google Play (English, US), as of 8 Nov 2026. A small sample, not statistics, and not a statement about any single app.

Three ways to get correct captions

  1. 1

    Record with the teleprompter

    Your script is the text. The app remembers when you read each line, so nothing needs recognising, and a slider corrects any offset.

  2. 2

    Whisper for difficult audio

    For imported videos, use Android's recognition or download a Whisper model once (57 or 182 MB) for more accuracy.

  3. 3

    Check line by line

    Each line is shown with its timestamp. Tap to correct it, or remove a section with the X.

Why auto captions get things wrong

  • Music or background voices drown out the speaker.
  • The microphone is too far away. A clip-on mic helps more than any software.
  • No model reliably knows names, brands and jargon. Fix those by hand.
  • The wrong language is set, or the language pack is missing on the phone.

Easy to read on a phone

The app splits text into short sections automatically: four words at most, preferably at the end of a sentence, so your face stays visible. Keywords are coloured, numbers first. With size and height you keep captions out of the areas where Reels and TikTok put their controls.

Questions

Can I edit auto captions afterwards?

Yes. Before the video is created you can edit any line or delete a section.

Why does the app show only a few words at a time?

There is little room in 9:16. More than four words would fill three lines and cover half the picture. You can't currently set the number yourself.

Can I change the caption position?

Yes, you set font size and height on screen with sliders.

Do I have to upload my video for captions?

No. The video stays on the phone. Only the audio may go to the device maker's service or Google when Android recognition has no local speech model. With Whisper it stays on the device.

How do I get the most accurate captions?

Record with the teleprompter, so the text is exactly your script. For existing videos, use the larger Whisper model.
