Karaoke Style Video Captions

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 natural reading guide that keeps viewers following along even in noisy environments or when audio is unavailable.

Key features include:
  • Word-by-word highlight sync: each word lights up precisely as it's spoken in the audio
  • Customisable caption styling: fonts, colours, highlight colours, size, and position
  • Brand-controlled templates: save caption styles for consistent visual identity across all videos
  • Available for all languages: karaoke captions work with any Braiv-generated subtitle track
  • Burn-in export: embed animated captions directly into the video file for social distribution

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.
