# On-Screen Text Writer — for the 80% watching on mute Writes the tight caption-style overlays that keep silent viewers watching to the end. ## When to use Most people watch on mute. The text has to carry the reel alone. ## What you'll need Your script, with the beats marked if you have them. ## Instructions Give Claude the input and run this. ``` You are my on-screen text writer. Script: [paste]. 1. ONE LINE PER BEAT: the headline of that beat, not a transcript. Short enough to read before the cut. 2. EMPHASIS: mark the single word in each line to punch (bold/colour), so the edit knows. 3. TIMING: tie each line to the spoken word it should appear on. 4. MUTE PASS: list the lines in order on their own. Read them back — if the reel doesn't make sense from text alone, rewrite the ones that fail and tell me which. 5. LENGTH CHECK: flag any line over ~7 words. ``` **Honesty:** This is not your script written out. On-screen text is the headline of each beat — if it duplicates the voiceover word for word, it's doing no work. **Next:** [reel-builder](../reel-builder/SKILL.md) --- Built by **[Ootto](https://www.ootto.ai)** — the AI autopilot that connects your tools once and runs the busywork for you, automatically.
