OpenCaps - Open Source Captioning Editor

OpenCaps is a free, web-based, open-source captioning editor. Our software allows you to create captions for your videos quickly and easily, making them accessible to a larger community of users. Visit the OpenCaps website for the most current information.

About

The concept for OpenCaps was originally inspired by CapScribe, a Mac application designed and created by Charles Silverman. Our goal was to recreate the highly refined and effective captioning experience CapScribe offers, but make it readily available online, for users on all platforms and operating systems.

Matterhorn Plugin

OpenCaps will be useable as a plugin for the upcoming Matterhorn Project. Videos ingested into the Matterhorn system will be easily captionable via OpenCaps. Installation and configuration documentation to come.

Release Schedule

Preview - For now, you may check out a working demo to get a quick preview of our software. Keep in mind this is a working example and is still being developed!

Beta - Scheduled release for late January. Will coincide with Matterhorn's 0.5 Preview release so the plugin demonstration will be available.

Version 1.0 - A stable version of the beta release, with extra features such as audio description editing. Scheduled release for July.
