Captions is a mobile-first AI video creation and editing app designed for content creators, particularly for short-form social media. Its flagship features are automatic caption generation with animated text styles popular on TikTok and Instagram Reels, AI eye contact correction that adjusts the speaker's gaze to look directly into the camera even when reading from a teleprompter, and a background replacement tool. TikTok creators, Instagram Reels producers, and video podcasters use Captions to professional-finish their mobile recordings quickly. The eye contact feature is particularly valued -- it allows creators to use teleprompters without the tell-tale downward gaze that undermines authenticity. Captions are generated instantly with stylized animations that match current social media trends. Captions built its reputation on solving specific problems that matter to social media video creators: looking like you're not reading, having great-looking captions, and producing polished content from a phone. This narrow focus on creator needs has made it one of the most-downloaded video AI apps.
