Verba: Auto Captions for Video
doubtful ratingIt recognizes captions noticeably more accurately than rivals, catching your words even with noise and a second speaker far off, and that's what gets praised. But exporting the finished clip drags on for 40 minutes, stalls at 70 percent, and locks up the phone while it runs. The subscription also grates: you can't customize captions or download the video without a yearly payment, and after buying premium people run into a daily limit.
textAvg 3.41 against a 4.85 store average is a wide gap. The specific complaints carry weight (40-minute exports that freeze, Arabic text reversed, a daily limit after paying), while some of the glowing five-stars are short and generic, as if just to leave a rating.
