The Windows version of Caption Pro can be run on a Mac from the Parallels Windows emulator or other virtual machine software such as VirtualBox. A Windows ISO is required for VirtualBox and installation may take some time. Use of an AI assistant if a virtual machine (VM) is used will resolve problems such as making the Windows VM occupy the full screen, increasing the size of application windows and connecting to external USB drives. Use of a VM is not recommended for inexperienced users.
The Mac native version is somewhat faster than the Windows implementation running in an emulator. It implements the following features of Caption Pro:
- Handles most common image file formats (jpeg, png, heic, tiff)
- Scanner interface
- Automatic splitting of multiple photo images into individual digital files
- Manual adjustment of splits and addition of new splits
- 2 -part editable captions placed below original image
- Adjustable proportion of input height used for caption bar
- Speech input of caption/sub-caption text
- Selectable caption font & color, caption bar background color
- Display of input file size, orientation, date and location
- Sorting of multiple input files by name, path or date metadata
- Editing of file date metadata
- Metadata viewing
- Display of either input files or captioned files in file list
- Rotation of input files by 90 degrees
- Streamlined manual captioning of multiple files
- Saving multiple files as a single PDF file
