In karaoke captions the whole phrase stays on screen and a highlight moves across it, word by word, in time with the voice. Viewers always know exactly where the speaker is.

A coloured pill slides behind the word being spoken while the rest of the line waits in white.
Each line sits on a rounded light background and the spoken word turns blue as you hear it.
The lightest version: a marker line moves under each word instead of a filled highlight.

Karaoke captions only work if the highlight lands on a word when that word is heard. AutoCaptionGenerator transcribes your video into individual words, each with its own start and end time, and the highlight moves on those times. That is also why the editor lets you fix a misheard word without disturbing the timing around it.
They suit lyrics and music clips, step-by-step tutorials, language practice and any video people watch with the sound off but still want to follow closely.
They are less useful for very fast speech, where a highlight jumping several times a second becomes hard to track. For those clips, a style that shows a short phrase at once, such as Clean Minimal, is easier to read.
No. SRT and VTT files carry plain timed lines, and the platform that plays them decides how they look, so the word-by-word highlight cannot travel in them. To keep the karaoke effect, export the MP4, where the captions are part of the picture.
