Released a Free AI Captioning Tool for LoRA Datasets: CaptionGenerator - SooHidden

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share a tool I just released to solve a common bottleneck in machine learning and dataset preparation: CaptionGenerator - SooHidden.

I put this together from scratch to help creators handle batch captioning for LoRA training setups cleanly, quickly, and locally. Best of all, it's completely free!

šŸš€ What It Does

  • Automated Batching: Pulls and generates structural captions for your training images.
  • Streamlined for LoRA: Formats tags directly to fit model training repositories smoothly.
  • Lightweight & Fast: Just an 11 MB download that runs right out of the box.

šŸ› ļø Built for the Community

Even though I personally lean more toward cloud architecture, I knew the local creator community needed a fast, zero-cost utility for local file prep. I manually mapped out the file handling and logic to keep it lightweight without bloated dependencies.

šŸ“„ Download & Try It out

The app is officially released and ready to go. You can download the zip directly on itch.io:

  • Install Instructions: Download the app, extract the zip, and it should be ready to go!

I’m looking for early feedback from model trainers and developers. Let me know what features or tag structures you want to see added in future updates!
