Karaoke Style Video Captions
Display word-by-word karaoke captions that make videos easier to follow and more engaging for social, training, and promotional content.
Standard captions show a static block of text while the video plays. Viewers read them, but the captions don't guide attention or reinforce the audio in the way that word-by-word highlighting does. Braiv's karaoke-style captions change this: each word highlights in sync with the audio as it's spoken, creating a dynamic reading guide that keeps viewers following along even in noisy environments or when audio is unavailable.
Key features include:
- → Word-by-Word Sync: Automatically highlight each word exactly as it is spoken to maximize viewer retention.
- → Custom Branding: Adjust fonts, colors, and animation styles to match your company's visual identity.
- → Multilingual Support: Generate animated karaoke captions in over 80 languages instantly.
- → Mobile Optimized: Large, clear, and highly engaging formats designed specifically for YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Instagram Reels.

Frequently asked questions
What are karaoke-style captions?
Karaoke-style captions are animated subtitles that highlight each word as it is spoken, similar to a karaoke display. They make videos easier to follow, increase viewer retention, and are widely used on YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Instagram Reels.
How do I add karaoke captions to my video?
Upload your video to Braiv, enable karaoke-style captions, and Braiv will automatically generate word-by-word animated subtitles synced to your audio. You can customise the font, colour, and animation style to match your brand.
Do karaoke captions increase video watch time?
Yes. Research consistently shows that videos with on-screen captions have higher watch time and completion rates, particularly on mobile where many viewers watch without sound. Karaoke captions are especially effective for short-form content.
Can I translate karaoke captions into other languages?
Yes. Braiv can translate your karaoke-style captions into 80+ languages, letting you publish the same video to multilingual audiences with culturally appropriate animated subtitles.
