Overview of My Submission

Language has always been a barrier, but now, with recent technologies, we can translate live text in real time.

However, this does not apply to video; it is still quite difficult to do so. And I'm sure we've all been in a position where we've seen a video clip on the internet (usually with a lot of interaction) and couldn't get the gist of it because it wasn't in our native language. Captio solves this barrier.

Captio is a powerful bot that will generate subtitle for video files in any preferred language. Available via the following medium:

• Twitter Bot - Twitter is inarguably one of the most used social media platform in the world, and it does make sense that a technology like this one is available on there.
  Check out caption on Twitter.

• CLI Application - Captio is also available as a CLI application, so that you are able to generate translated subtitles offline.
