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.
Speechify
Speechify converts text from PDFs, articles, emails, Google Docs, and ebooks into spoken audio using AI-generated voices. It is used by students, professionals, and people with dyslexia or reading difficulties who want to consume written content faster or more comfortably. The voice quality is genuinely good at normal speeds, but at very high playback rates naturalness degrades noticeably. The free tier is limited to one standard voice and a capped speed.
