What the panel does
Word-by-word captions
Get word-level timing across 100+ languages and edit native captions right on your open timeline.
Silence cut
Detects pauses locally on your computer and creates a new sequence with the silences removed, leaving your original sequence intact.
AI edit
Strips out filler words and repetitions, trims to a target length, or pulls a short with a hook. You approve every cut before it happens.
Hebrew and Arabic
Right-to-left captions keep proper word order and punctuation, even when a line mixes Hebrew and English.
Any camera
Because Premiere and Resolve decode your footage, the panel hears whatever you hear on the timeline, including multichannel files, external recorder audio, and nested clips.
Exact timing
Captions snap cleanly to frames at 23.976, 29.97 drop-frame, and other frame rates, including timelines starting at 01:00:00:00.
Only your audio leaves your computer
The panel has your editor bounce an audio-only mixdown of what you hear, compresses it down to speech quality on your machine, and uploads just that file. Your video files are never read for upload.

- Processed locally on your computer
- Preparing audio leaves your sequence untouched
Creator pricing
You pay with KolWrite credits per hour of audio, and you only pay for the audio you actually send. Any KolWrite account works, including a free one.
credits per audio hour
| Model | In the panel | In the KolWrite editor |
|---|---|---|
| OracleProduction captions | 144 | 60 |
| Oracle ProDemanding audio | 168 | 120 |
| Oracle MaxDifficult audio, important edits | 360 | 180 |
- Adding speaker labels costs 15 extra credits per audio hour.
- For example, 10 minutes of audio using Oracle takes 24 credits in the panel, or 10 in the KolWrite editor.
- AI edits spend AI credits based on the tokens used.
You can cancel for free any time before your audio reaches KolWrite. Once it arrives, the full job is billed. If a job ever fails on our end, you aren't charged.
Open the KolWrite editor
If you don't need the panel, the same models cost less in the KolWrite editor.
Questions
Which download do I need?
Grab the installer for your operating system, either macOS or Windows. It will install the KolWrite panel for Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or both if you have them. For Linux, there is a dedicated DaVinci Resolve package. If you just want individual files, check under Other downloads.
What does it cost?
Installing the panel is free. You pay for transcription using KolWrite credits per hour of audio. You'll see the exact credit cost for each model in the table above and right in the panel before you start a job. Any KolWrite account works, including free accounts.
Do you upload my video?
No. The panel gets an audio-only mixdown from Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve, compresses it locally on your machine, and uploads only that audio file. Your video files are never read for upload.
Which versions are supported?
We support Premiere Pro 25.6 and newer on macOS and Windows, plus DaVinci Resolve 20 and newer on macOS, Windows, and Linux. Both the free version of Resolve and Resolve Studio are supported.
Does it handle Hebrew and Arabic?
Yes. Right-to-left captions keep the proper word order and punctuation, even when a line mixes Hebrew or Arabic with English. You can also switch the panel interface itself to Hebrew or Arabic.
What happens to my timeline?
Captions are added directly to your current sequence or timeline, where you can edit them. Silence cuts and AI edits create a separate sequence or timeline and preserve the original edit.
What happens if I cancel a job?
You can cancel for free until your audio reaches KolWrite. Once it does, you're charged for the full audio length. The panel always shows the exact credit cost and asks you to confirm first. If a job fails on our end, you aren't charged.
Which languages can it transcribe?
KolWrite transcribes over 100 languages, including Hebrew and Arabic. You can pick the language yourself or leave it on automatic, and you can also add translated caption tracks.
Can I export the captions as a file?
Yes. Along with putting captions in your timeline, the panel saves SRT, VTT, TXT, and JSON files to whatever folder you pick.
Try it on a clip
Install the panel, sign in with any KolWrite account, and caption a short sequence. You'll see the credit estimate before the job starts.
