# 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.
