“It has revolutionized our workflow! We have so many people that come to our events/awards that Caption Pro has now enabled us to work much faster in processing the images on the day. The fact that it retains those names for future use is a game-changer in the way that we work... It’s fantastic.”

Text and Number Detection

Caption Pro also utilizes text and number detection in order to quickly and accurately associate names with sports players in situations when the subjects head is out of shot or facing away from the camera.

Create and share player lists amongst your team so that everyone can caption with confidence. Changes to teams can be quickly and easily updated so your records stay up to date with the fast moving world of sport.

Selected players combine seamlessly with detected faces and are outputted through formulas into your metadata fields, cutting down the time required for your job.

“As a sports photography agency that deals with tens of thousands of players from multiple sports around the world, a tool like Caption Pro is invaluable as it takes away the guesswork when it comes to captioning images and gives us a level of confidence that makes the job just that much easier.”
Jack Lyons - INPHO Sports Photogrpahy

Formulas Change The Game

Formulas allow you to unleash the full power of Caption Pro. Set your metadata rules once, and let Caption Pro take care of the rest.

A formula is an easy to use way of placing dynamic content in your metadata fields. Want a list of comma separated names that changes based on who is in the image? Use the people formula. Want to change a word based on the number of people in the image? Use the plural formula. Want to duplicate the contents of another field? Use the duplicate formula. Formulas can even be used to modify the filename of your exported images by automatically inserting the names of who is in the photo, or an incrementing numerical sequence.

In short, Caption Pro’s combination of formulas, facial recognition, and text detection, mean that manually filling out all your metadata fields and filenames is a thing of the past.

“In an industry where metadata accuracy and speed are essential, Caption Pro has changed the game for us. Tagging photos has actually become an enjoyable part of the editing process.”

Todd Rubin
Senior Photo Editor at BFA
"In an industry where metadata accuracy and speed are essential, Caption Pro has changed the game for us. Our photographers and editors appreciate the hours saved tagging images on individual assignments, whether it's an intimate dinner, red carpet arrivals, or a large gala. Our clients enjoy even quicker turnaround times with more complete and precise naming. Our agency photographs many of the same groups of people regularly, and Caption Pro has allowed us to build up a robust database very quickly. The Caption Pro team has consistently been open to feedback, improving and adding new features to make the software even more powerful over time. Tagging photos has actually become an enjoyable part of the editing process."
Andrew Stein
Director of photography for Purdue Athletics
"Instead of manually tagging our images after the fact, we slot Caption Pro into our post-processing workflow right before upload, so our stakeholders have tagged images within minutes not days of an event. It also has the benefit of easily tagging non-prominent members of our organization that we wouldn't spend the time to normally tag, whether that's alumni, support staff or notable fans; fringe cases are where it shines. As an example: we were asked for photos of an athletic trainer that in the past we never would have tagged, but with Caption Pro, we had a ton of images of the individual that were searchable in our D.A.M system."
Claire Rees

"It has revolutionized our workflow! We have so many people that come to our events/awards that Caption Pro has now enabled us to work much faster in processing the images on the day. The fact that it retains those names for future use is a game-changer in the way that we work. It has helped us to work through our archive without referring to previous inputs. It’s fantastic."

"Caption Pro has completely changed how we approach event photography. Speeding up our time to market, and with a very accurate face database, Caption Pro is an excellent software that has become my right hand in assisting me and our editors with the editing process. I think Caption Pro can be considered an essential software in event photography, and has been especially useful to our team in cutting out the time of identifying people."
Mark Blinch
Freelance sports photographer
"Caption Pro has been a huge time saver for over the past few years. Editing and captioning images for my clients takes up a lot of time, and with Caption Pro I can get some of that time back. Between facial and text recognition, written captions take far less time to make, and allows you to get your pictures to your clients faster. The developers are always listening to feedback and constantly adding new features, I would very much recommend using this program in your workflow."
Jack Lyons
Senior Editor at INPHO Sports Photography
"As a sports photography agency that deals with tens of thousands of players from multiple sports around the world, a tool like Caption Pro is invaluable as it takes away the guesswork when it comes to captioning images and gives us a level of confidence that makes the job just that much easier. The team at Caption Pro have also been incredible to deal with as they reply to any questions very quickly and quite obviously take on board suggestions as we have seen some of our own suggestions implemented in software updates. Highly recommend this software to anybody or any team looking to seriously improve their workflow!"
James Gourley
Freelance Photographer
"It has increased my editing workflow efficiency 100x in both sports and entertainment, leaving me and my clients super impressed with the speed. The small cost is massively outweighed by the time savings and stress reduction in trying to name people in live edit situations. Every job I turn up to, other photographers are amazed watching the software in action."

"...recently decided to test my old workflow against my new one with Caption Pro - I edited 64 images. In my old workflow, it took just over 16 minutes to caption (and I'm fast!). Using Caption Pro, it took 3. THREE!!!"
Jason Sheldon
Junction 10 Photography
"Fanastic product, and great support! The app is a real timesaver - it's saved me HOURS of having to trawl through various wikipedia pages to try and identify celebrities (from a range of A-Z lists!) to identify people who I'm not familiar with."
Lucy Stewart
Freelance Photographer, Photo Editor and Artist
"It saves a huge amount of time because I no longer type out who is in the photo, especially if it is a group photo with many faces, I now just press one button to confirm who is in the photo and done! Overall it makes my workflow a-lot simpler and speedier and a must have in such a competitive industry."
