Captions that look like your stream.
Subtitled lets you set the typeface, size, text and outline colours, a thin, medium or thick outline or a solid box, bold and italic, and how many words stay on screen, with the newest word highlighted if you like. Live, every change shows up in OBS straight away. For videos, the same look is burned into the file, placed at the top, middle or bottom.

One look, live and on file
Live captions and burned-in video subtitles are drawn by the same code, so a look you set for your stream is the look your clips get. The video preview shows exactly what the export will be before you download.
Right to left, done right
Arabic, Hebrew and Persian are set right to left with their letters joined, in a typeface made for each, IBM Plex Sans Arabic for Arabic unless you choose another.
Test without talking
Send a test caption puts a line on screen without anyone speaking, so you can place and size the source in OBS before you go live, and nothing is billed.

Questions
Can I change the font of live captions?
Yes. Pick the typeface in Subtitled and the captions in OBS change straight away, with nothing to set inside OBS.
Can captions have a background box instead of an outline?
Yes. Choose Solid box for a filled background behind the words, or an outline in thin, medium or thick, in any colour.
What does highlighting the newest word do?
The word just spoken is drawn in its own colour, so viewers can follow along as the line builds, the way karaoke lyrics do.
Do burned-in video subtitles use the same styles?
Yes. Typeface, colours, outline or box, and position all carry over to video subtitles, which can also be exported at 9:16, 16:9, 1:1 or the original shape.
Can video subtitles animate word by word?
Yes. Word by word has two looks: Pop, where words appear as they are said with the newest one larger, and Highlight, where the whole line shows and the spoken word lights up in your highlight color.
