Loud game audio drowns your voice
Your game sounds fill the track. Gunfire, music and chat compete with your commentary, so many viewers watch with the sound off. Captions let them read every joke and callout.
When you add captions, the words appear exactly when you say them. The viewer follows the action without missing a beat.

Frequently
Asked Questions
How do I add animated captions to a gaming video?
Upload the clip, let Sycamore transcribe it, choose a template, fix any misheard words, and export the video with captions burned in.
Can I keep captions away from my HUD?
Yes. You choose top, center or bottom placement, so the captions never cover health bars, minimap or chat.
What if a gamer tag is wrong in the transcript?
Click the word in the editor, type the correct tag, and the timing stays the same.
Does Sycamore work with 16:9 and 9:16 videos?
Yes. Captions work on 9:16, 16:9 and 1:1 videos and export as MP4.
Is there a free way to try this?
The Free plan gives you 10 minutes of video to caption without a credit card.
