Captions can make a huge difference in how well Reels and YouTube Shorts perform. They grab attention, keep viewers engaged, and make sure people can follow along even when the sound is off. The problem is, adding captions manually takes a lot of time. Luckily, there are now several AI tools that can automatically generate accurate and good-looking captions for short videos.
Which AI caption generators are creators actually using right now for Reels and Shorts, especially the ones that work well with Indian accents or local languages?
The best AI caption generators for Reels and Shorts right now are Evenflow (great for Indian accents and Hinglish), IndieCaptions (supports multiple Indian languages), VEED, and Flixier (both work well for global use and English content). Among these, Evenflow is the top choice for creators in India because it handles local accents accurately and produces clean, well-timed captions.
Hii there, I’ve been using short-form video tools quite a bit lately, and here are the best AI caption / subtitle generators I’ve found for Reels and Shorts —
• Kapwing – Upload your video (or link), hit “Auto subtitles” and you’ll get highly accurate captions in 100+ languages, plus style/font/customisation options.
• VEED IO – Great for short-form / social posts: auto-generate captions in 125+ languages, animate keywords, pick caption styles that flash like pros.
• Short AI – Focused purely on caption generation: 99.5% accuracy, 32+ languages, 14+ dynamic styles — superb if you already have your video ready and just need captions.
• Flixier – Especially handy for turning Reels into polished posts: upload/paste, choose language, auto-generate captions, then style and position them before export.
• Vizard AI – If you want captions with visual flair (animations, motion-text, stylised fonts) for Shorts that stand out, this one is worth a look.
