Research direction
The issue requests automatic captions for videos recorded with Kap. Investigate Kap's plugin system (e.g., 'plugins' directory) and audio capture pipeline. Look at existing plugins for reference. Consider using a speech to text API or library. The feature is complex and requires understanding of Kap's internals, audio handling, and UI integration.
