Fast reactions need instant captions
A Twitch highlight often packs a lot of excitement into a few seconds. Viewers scrolling on TikTok or Shorts may have the sound off, so the words have to appear as quickly as they were spoken.
Sycamore transcribes the streamer’s voice with word‑level timing, then animates each word as it’s said. The result reads like a live subtitle that keeps up with rapid commentary.
Common caption pitfalls for Twitch clips
Putting captions at the bottom where the chat overlay appears.
Choose the top or center position so the chat bubble stays visible.
Showing a full sentence during a fast kill streak.
Lower words per line so each burst of speech fits on one line.
Using a color that blends with the game UI.
Pick a highlight color that contrasts with the HUD and stream graphics.
