- A new line starts on a pause, on a change of speaker or after 8 seconds, so lines never drag on
- Speakers
- With speaker separation on, the subtitles read “Speaker 1”, “Speaker 2”
- Video
- mp4, mkv, mov, avi, flv, webm; with several audio tracks the app asks which one to use
- Length
- Any: even an hour-long webinar
- Offline
- The video is never uploaded
