There a few options for this

1. you click on the button above the text area and click select text file and add a .txt file to the app.

2. you copy and paste from another source, eg a word document etc, directly into the app text area.

3. you can play the video and type the text yourself.

Note: The text does not need to have punctuation for the app to generate the caption file. But if punctuation is provided the app will use it to make more informed judgement calls on when to break words onto a new line.
