Your listing needs readable captions
A short Reel shows a kitchen, a living room and a quick market tip. Viewers often watch with sound off, so the words you speak must appear on screen. Sycamore transcribes each word and animates it so the viewer reads exactly what you say.
You control color, outline and font weight, so the text stands out against wood grain, marble or a city skyline. The captions stay in one of three fixed spots, so they never cover a key feature like a balcony view.
Common caption errors that hide property details
Placing captions at the bottom where the Reel's like and comment icons sit.
Put captions at the top or center so the icons stay clear and the property remains visible.
Using a light caption color that blends with a bright kitchen wall.
Choose a dark text color with a contrasting outline to stay legible on any surface.
