Transcription you can pay for by the hour
Sonix will bill by the hour rather than by the month, which is the right shape for somebody who transcribes a batch of interviews twice a year and nothing in between. Accuracy across its 54 languages is good and the editor lines the text up against the audio. Subscribers get storage and an AI workspace that the hourly rate does not include.

Captions and resizing for social video
Zubtitle does one job and stops: upload a clip, get burned-in captions, a square or vertical crop and a progress bar, then download it. The free tier really does two videos a month with a watermark, which is enough to know whether the styling suits your channel. Anybody wanting a timeline and transitions is in the wrong tool.
