About Captions
Captions is an AI video editor for talking-head videos that auto-generates subtitles, corrects eye contact, and can insert AI-generated B-roll.
Where it differs is a mobile-first workflow: alongside web access, it runs as an app on both iOS and Android, and it bundles editing features specific to spoken-to-camera video, including gaze correction that adjusts the speaker to appear to look at the lens and speech-recognition captioning.
It fits short-form creators who record talking-head clips on a phone. It fits less well if you need a full desktop-class editor or work across varied video styles, since the tool is optimized for short-form talking-head content and its desktop experience is less developed than its mobile app. The free tier carries the export limits or watermarks common to freemium video tools.
Within the AI Video & Voice category it sits at the mobile, presenter-focused end rather than with general-purpose desktop editors.

The expensive mistake in the vibe-coding era isn't building the app — it's building the wrong one. You validate an AI app idea by talking to about eight people in your target market before you build, and listening for the single capability they all wish existed. That's your wedge.
