Who Is This For?

Captions is for social media creators, podcasters, course creators, and anyone who records talking-head videos and wants professional results without learning video editing. It's especially popular with TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts creators who need fast, polished short-form content.

About Captions

Captions is an AI video editing app that takes the most tedious parts of video production and automates them. Record a video, and Captions automatically generates accurate subtitles, removes filler words (um, uh, like), corrects your eye contact to look at the camera, and enhances audio quality — all with minimal manual effort.

The eye contact correction is the standout feature. If you glanced at notes or a teleprompter during recording, Captions adjusts your eye line so it appears you're looking directly at the camera throughout. The effect is subtle but makes videos feel significantly more professional and engaging.

Automatic caption generation is fast and accurate, with customizable styles that match popular social media aesthetics — animated word-by-word captions, bold highlight effects, and branded color schemes. Since most social media video is watched without sound, good captions aren't optional anymore — they're essential.

The filler word removal feature identifies and cuts out verbal pauses without leaving awkward jump cuts. Combined with AI audio enhancement that reduces background noise and normalizes volume, Captions can make a phone recording sound like it was captured in a professional studio. The app is mobile-first (iOS and Android) with a web editor for desktop use.
