日本語 Japanese captions, in kanji and kana or Romaji

Yes. Put the video in the editor, open Captions and press Auto-caption. Language starts on Auto, which takes the language from the voice, so Japanese speech is written as captions in kanji and kana, each word at the moment it is said, and the tool says what it heard: “Heard Japanese: Japanese in kanji and kana.” You can also choose Japanese in the Language list first; it is told to the recognizer when it listens.

Choose Japanese in Language, then Write in: Latin letters (Romaji). Each Japanese word is written in Latin letters as Romaji writes it, and English words stay as they were said. Nothing is listened to again, and every word keeps its time.

Yes. Choose Write in: kanji and kana. The words are written as they were heard, with no spaces between Japanese words, as Japanese is written, and every word keeps its own time for the looks that follow the voice. All 87 caption looks draw kanji and kana.

Yes. Choose Write in: Translate to English, and pick the language in Translate to: English first, then 50 others. The speech is translated phrase by phrase, and each phrase is shown while it is said.

Yes. Ask it in your own words: “Japanese captions”, “captions in Romaji” or “translate the captions to English”. It sets the choice and writes the captions already made again, without listening again. “Japanese captions” on a voice that speaks another language translates them into Japanese.

Yes. The Captions panel downloads SRT and VTT files, which carry the captions as they are written: in kanji and kana, in Latin letters or translated.

Listening to a recording is a captions job, 10 credits, once. Writing the words in Latin letters or translating them is a captions job the first time each is asked for; going back to a writing already made, and choosing English, cost nothing and listen to nothing again. Choosing a language other than the one heard offers Listen again as that language, which is one more captions job.
