Splice Captions Not Working

Ongoing iOS, Android Updated October 21, 2026

Quick answer

Splice auto captions only work with English audio, can fail on clips longer than 10 minutes, and are not available on Android. Update the app and split long clips.

Most likely fix: Update iOS and Splice.

Symptoms

Auto captions generate nothing, generate gibberish, or the captions option is missing.

Why it happens

  • Audio not in English (only supported language)
  • Clips longer than 10 minutes
  • Using Splice on Android, where captions are not available
  • Outdated app or iOS
