Eye-contact correction, auto captions, and a teleprompter cover the main polish steps for talking-head video in a mobile workflow. Advanced features need paid access, and the documented pricing is specific to iOS. Confirm the tools available on your platform, since Android and browser coverage differs and there is no native desktop app.

Overview
Not yet reviewedProduct quality is assessed from original evidence. How reviews work.
Captions AI is a mobile-first AI video creation app originally built around one specific problem, making talking-head video creation faster and more polished, and expanded into a broader creator toolkit. Its core features: Eye Contact AI corrects the speaker's gaze to face the camera even when looking at a script or teleprompter; AI captions with animated word-by-word highlighting are generated and styled automatically; Background Blur and AI background replacement remove messy filming environments. The AI clone feature creates a digital version of yourself from a short recording that can deliver new video content from text scripts, effectively a personal AI avatar trained on your own appearance and voice.
Captions' Editing Suite removes filler words, silences, and hesitations from recordings with one click, compressing a longer recording into a tight, broadcast-ready version. Captions is available on iOS, on Android through the App Store and Google Play, and through a browser experience on computers; feature availability differs by platform, and there is no dedicated native Mac or Windows desktop app. Pricing includes a free tier, with paid Max and Scale plans on iOS unlocking AI cloning, higher-resolution exports, and advanced background effects.
Captions is strongest for solo creators who film themselves regularly and want a mobile-first workflow that handles the most time-consuming production polish steps automatically.

Our Take
The Eye Contact feature, which corrects gaze to face the camera even while reading off-screen, is genuinely rare and reduces the awkward look of teleprompter-read content. The digital-twin actor feature extends that into fully generated content when you don't want to appear on camera. Captions runs on iOS, Android, and in a browser, though which features are available differs by platform, and there is no dedicated native Mac or Windows desktop app. The best features are behind the paywall, on plans that are currently documented at iOS-specific pricing. If talking-head video is your format, this is one of the strongest mobile options available; confirm feature and pricing availability for your specific platform before committing.
