True Word-by-Word Highlight
AI timestamps every single word, so the highlight moves with the voice — not on a fake fixed rhythm.
Custom Highlight Color
The active word gets your accent color and bold weight — match it to your brand or pick a preset like Highlight, Neon or Gold Premium.
Higher Retention
Word-synced captions are the format TikTok, Reels and Shorts audiences expect — they hold attention and work with sound off.
Edit Without Breaking Sync
Change the wording of any line — when the word count stays the same, all karaoke timings are preserved automatically.
Position Anywhere
Drag the caption block on the live preview — center for Shorts, lower third for YouTube.
Burned-In Result
Render produces a regular MP4 with the animation hardcoded — post it anywhere, no special player needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are karaoke captions?
Subtitles where the currently spoken word is visually highlighted — like a karaoke machine. It's the dominant caption style on TikTok, Reels and Shorts.
Is the highlight really synced to the voice?
Yes — RipVio requests word-level timestamps from Whisper AI, so each highlight starts exactly when the word is spoken.
Can I choose the highlight color?
Yes, the highlight color (and bold weight) is fully customizable, and several presets ship with ready-made karaoke looks.
Does it work for vertical videos?
Yes — the preview matches your video's aspect ratio and you can drag the captions to any position, including dead center for Shorts.
What do I get at the end?
A standard MP4 with the karaoke animation burned in — it plays on every platform and app without any special support.
