About this tool
Captions is an AI video creation app focused on talking-head and short-form social content. Its core editor adds captions, highlights, transitions and music to vertical videos, while AI features extend into deeper transformations: AI Eye Contact corrects gaze, AI Lip Sync supports dubbing across languages, AI Edit removes filler words and pauses, AI Twin lets users create a digital clone of themselves and generate new talking videos from a script, and the AI Creator tool drafts viral video scripts. The product is offered as iOS, Android and web apps and is heavily used by content creators, marketers, founders and educators producing TikTok, Reels and Shorts. It is sold on free, Pro and Scale plans, with the Scale tier aimed at agencies and businesses producing video at volume.
