⚙️ How the Scoring Works

Each short gets a score from 0 to 100. The score tells you how good the clip is for sharing on social media. The app looks at:

• Caption quality - Are the words clear and readable
• Visual interest - Does the clip have movement and changes
• Audio clarity - Can people hear the speech clearly
• Pacing - Is the clip too long or too short

A score above 70 means the clip is ready to share. Scores below 50 may need editing.

Can I use fableclip on a Mac? This version is for Windows only. Mac support may come later.

Do I need to pay for anything? No. fableclip is free and open source. You pay nothing.

What if I get an error? Check that your video format is supported. Try a shorter video. Make sure you have enough storage space.

Can I edit the captions after they are created? Yes. Click any caption text in the preview to edit it.
