Editorial policy

The way Captionwale writes, checks and corrects its guides and language notes.

01Authorship

Captionwale publishes the guides in its own name; no individual byline appears on them. The About page explains who runs Captionwale, and Captionwale answers for everything the guides contain.
The notes on every language's template page are in Captionwale's own voice, and they explain how that script works in the editor.

Our topics come out of the work of building Captionwale: problems the editor has needed to solve, and the choices creators have to make when captioning a video.
Writing tools, AI among them, may be used to help prepare a draft. A guide is listed on the site only after the draft has been edited and every statement about the editor has been verified against how the editor actually behaves.
Each guide reflects the facts at the time it is written. If the product or a platform changes, we update the guide, and it shows the date of that update.

The people who build Captionwale also write the guides, and wherever a guide describes Captionwale as the tool, it says so.
No platform, font maker or software company pays to be mentioned, and none of them sees a guide before it goes live.
Ads may appear on the public pages of this site, but advertisers have no influence over the topics the guides cover or what they recommend.

If you spot an error in a guide, write to support@captionwale.com with the page's address and the change needed. When we confirm a mistake, we correct it and change the guide's updated date.
