Likely getting $125 in leaderboard rewards this week, and I want to pay it forward to supporting creators.

I noticed many videos here don’t have captions. It’s a small edit that makes a big difference for viewers.

Captioning apps on mobile are convenient, but they aren’t free. So I’m thinking I’d like to sponsor a few creators’ caption app subscriptions.

- What are the best mobile apps for captions you’re using?
- What’s a fair way to pick who gets it? (I’m thinking: people who’ve already casted at least one video for Farcaster that isn’t recycled from existing social media, with demonstrated intent to create more.)

I’m mostly adding captions on my laptop, it’s just faster & more flexible for me. On that front, there’s a couple of options you could explore: Descript, OpusClips, NexusClips & Munch
