# 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.
{% endhint %}

1.[Add text file ](/subtitles-composer-app/adding-text.md)and [audio file](/subtitles-composer-app/opening-a-video-or-audio-file.md#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](/files/-M2_BdQq5Q5e17uLqo6v)

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.

![Review line segments lengths ](/files/-M2_C0zP3ysdMaTRW_ie)

5.When done click `create subtitles`

![](/files/-M2_CJxiKH1e9uVUL7RD)

6.Subtitle file will be on your desktop, and you can import that in premiere. To use as caption track.

7.Optional, If need you can repeat from step 3 to review and adjust the segments and re generate an srt caption file to add to premiere.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://autoedit.gitbook.io/subtitles-composer-app/generating-captions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
