What they are

CapCut

CapCut is ByteDance's free video editor built around short-form content workflows. It handles trimming, captions, transitions, and green screen in a mobile-first interface that also runs in the browser. Widely used by TikTok and Reels creators for its auto-caption and template features.

Rev

Rev transcribes audio and video files using either automated AI or human transcriptionists, returning time-stamped text files, captions, and subtitles. It serves podcasters, journalists, video producers, and educators who need accurate transcripts quickly. Human transcription is notably more accurate than AI for complex audio, but costs more per minute. A free trial lets you test the AI tier before committing.
