Captions AI

Captions is a mobile-first AI video creation app that has become popular among content creators, particularly on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, for the range of AI-powered production features it brings to smartphone video. The app automates much of the post-production workflow that would otherwise require desktop editing software.

The most frequently cited feature is the AI eye contact correction, which digitally adjusts the speaker's gaze to look directly into the camera even when they are reading from a teleprompter or looking at notes. For creators who struggle with looking directly at the camera while delivering scripted content, this feature produces a more engaging result without requiring multiple takes.

Auto-captions in Captions are accurate and customisable with numerous style presets that match common social media aesthetic trends. The automatic filler word removal — cutting um, uh, and similar interruptions — is applied to video rather than just audio, removing both the sound and the corresponding video segment.

AI avatars allow creating a digital version of the creator that can deliver scripts in any language, enabling multilingual content distribution without re-recording. The avatar is trained on video uploaded by the creator.

The 'clip from long-form video' feature extracts short vertical clips from longer recordings, similar to Opus Clip, for distribution to Reels and TikTok.

At $19.99/month for the Pro plan, Captions is priced for regular content creators who produce video multiple times per week. The free plan provides a meaningful trial with watermarked outputs.
