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.

Good app with great usability. Does what it says. The audio to text engine is very accurate, better than Kapwing's Beta which I've tested extensively. Team seems dedicated to constant improvements, too. I'm happy I purchased!
