What it is

Captions started as a phone teleprompter and grew into a full mobile editor with auto-captions, AI eye-contact correction, dubbed translations, and AI avatars. The product is what TikTok creators reach for first on iOS.

Best for: Phone-first creators making short-form on iPhone or Android with no laptop in the loop.
Watch out for: Mobile-first; desktop editor is secondary.
