Buyers scroll with the sound off
A listing video competes with a feed full of silent clips. If the price, number of bedrooms and the street name disappear, viewers swipe away. Captions keep the key facts on screen so the house stays in mind.
Sycamore transcribes your voice, adds word‑level timing and lets you place captions at the top, center or bottom. That means the kitchen view stays clear while the price pops up above.
Common caption mistakes for agents

Frequently
Asked Questions
How do I add captions to a real‑estate walkthrough?
Upload the video to Sycamore, pick a caption template, fix any misheard details, then export the MP4 with captions burned in.
Can I place captions so they don’t hide the house features?
Yes. Captions can sit at the top, center or bottom. Choose the spot that stays clear of doors, windows and key interior shots.
What if the transcript gets a street name wrong?
Click the word in the transcript, type the correct name, and the timing remains unchanged.
Do I need to add a separate subtitle file?
No. Sycamore burns the animated captions into the exported MP4, so you upload a single video file.
Does it work with both vertical and horizontal videos?
Yes. Sycamore supports 9:16, 16:9 and 1:1 formats, so you can caption a portrait Instagram Reel or a widescreen YouTube tour.
