ScreenOtter — Cinematic Screen Recordings, Without the Editing

Features

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

ScreenOtter handles the cinematography so you can focus on what you're actually building.

Word-by-word subtitles, generated automatically

ScreenOtter turns your recording into a transcript and displays each word as it’s spoken, creating smooth, perfectly timed subtitles without any manual captioning work. Make tutorials, demos, and walkthroughs easier to follow — even when your viewers are watching on mute.

Speed through the boring typing parts

ScreenOtter automatically detects when you’re typing and lets you speed those moments up in one click. Keep your demos moving, skip the awkward pauses, and still show viewers exactly what changed on screen.

Show every shortcut as you press it

ScreenOtter automatically displays keyboard shortcuts right on your video, so viewers never have to guess what you pressed. Perfect for tutorials, coding walkthroughs, design demos, and any workflow where the keyboard does half the talking.

Use your webcam or iPhone as a facecam

Add a personal touch to your screen recordings with your built-in webcam, external camera, or iPhone. Whether you’re making a product demo, tutorial, or walkthrough, ScreenOtter lets viewers see both your screen and your face in one polished recording.

Record every sound, then add some music

Capture your microphone, system audio, and screen in one smooth recording. Then add background music to give your demos, tutorials, and walkthroughs a more polished, professional feel without opening a separate editor.

Add beautiful backgrounds in one click

Give your screen recordings a more polished look with custom gradients, wallpapers, and canvas backgrounds. ScreenOtter lets you instantly upgrade a plain screen capture into something that feels more intentional, more branded, and much more enjoyable to watch.
