# Generating captions

{% hint style="info" %}
The key idea is to use an *optional* pre-segmentation review step. To make it easier to adjust the captions segmentation before generating the file.

1.[Add text file ](https://autoedit.gitbook.io/subtitles-composer-app/adding-text)and [audio file](https://autoedit.gitbook.io/subtitles-composer-app/opening-a-video-or-audio-file#click-on-select-video-or-audio-file) (select the text file, don't copy and paste for now)

2.Click `segment text` button

![Segment text](https://1327109202-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LKMj8j4KNeE8zwPNhFS%2F-M2_8G4lKs2ch81QVv4U%2F-M2_BdQq5Q5e17uLqo6v%2Fsemgnet%20text.png?alt=media\&token=69b52b2f-d279-422c-8468-a77447b942e2)

3.Review text segments. You can readjust the segmentation by editing the text in free form.

4.Optional - If useful, you can select some text and get character count.

Eg if you want to check a line is still within eg 37 character limit while adjusting the text and line breaks.
