Create an account to generate and export your captions.
Slides dominate the frame
A webinar screen is mostly slides. Viewers read bullet points while you talk, so captions must not cover the slide content. Sycamore lets you put captions at the top, center or bottom, so you can choose the empty space on each slide.
The transcript is timed word by word. You get a moving subtitle that follows your voice, so viewers don’t have to pause to read a static block of text.
Common caption mistakes for webinars
Leaving captions at the bottom where slide footers and logos sit.
Place captions at the top or center where the slide has blank space.
Accepting mis‑heard product names or industry jargon.
Click any word in the transcript to correct it; the timing stays intact.
Using a single long line that overlaps the slide title.
Reduce words per line so each line fits in the empty margin of the slide.
