The problem

Captions shouldn't cost a subscription.

Every episode needs a transcript and a caption file. Most tools want a monthly plan, a per-minute fee, or your unreleased audio on their servers. Then the editor wants WAV, the host wants MP3, and the archive wants FLAC.

2anything transcribes and converts on your Mac. Your raw recordings stay yours.
