Apple iMovie Native Captions vs HappyScribe
Most video editors include some form of built-in captioning, but they rarely match the speed, accuracy, and language coverage of a dedicated subtitling tool. Apple iMovie's built-in tools typically support a handful of languages, while HappyScribe supports 120+. Built-in auto-captions are often 70-80% accurate and require heavy manual editing — HappyScribe's AI reaches 85%+, with an optional human service at 99%. And unlike Apple iMovie's native tools, HappyScribe includes speaker identification, subtitle translation, and batch processing for professional workflows.
SRT is the most popular subtitle format — over 143,000 SRT files were exported by HappyScribe users in Q1 2026 alone. Try our Subtitle Generator to get started.
