Captions
AI studio that edits and captions your videos automatically
What it is
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.

Frequently asked questions
Does Captions have a free plan?
No. Captions does not offer a free tier at this time. You need a paid subscription to use the core editing and captioning features.
How much does Captions cost per month?
Pricing starts around $9.99 per month on an annual plan, though the monthly rate is higher. Verify the current pricing on captions.ai before subscribing, as plans and tiers change periodically.
Is Captions available on desktop or only on mobile?
Captions has both a mobile app and a web-based desktop version, but the mobile app currently offers more features. If you primarily work on a desktop, check whether the web version covers what you need before purchasing.
How accurate is the Captions AI transcription?
Accuracy is generally strong for clear English speech and competes well with other AI caption tools. Results vary with heavy accents, fast speech, or background noise, so manual review is still recommended.
What are the main alternatives to Captions for auto-captioning?
Opus Clip, Descript, and CapCut are the most commonly compared alternatives. Descript offers stronger desktop editing, CapCut has a free tier, and Opus Clip focuses specifically on clipping long-form content into short highlights.
Can Captions dub my video into another language with my own voice?
Yes. Captions includes a voice cloning and dubbing feature that attempts to translate and re-voice content in your voice. Quality is decent for standard speech but less convincing with rapid delivery or heavy regional accents.
