What they are

Captions

Captions is a mobile-first AI video editor aimed at creators who produce talking-head content for social media. It auto-generates captions, removes filler words, corrects eye contact, and can clone your voice for overdubs. The app targets solo creators who want a post-production shortcut, though its desktop feature set is still catching up to its mobile counterpart.

HeyGen

HeyGen generates studio-quality videos using AI avatars and text-to-speech voices, so creators and marketers can produce talking-head content without filming themselves. It supports over 175 languages and lets you clone your own voice and likeness. Teams use it for product explainers, onboarding videos, and localized content at scale. The avatar quality is impressive for scripted material, but unscripted or conversational styles still feel noticeably synthetic.
