Captions.ai is an all-in-one video creation app that helps creators script, shoot, and caption videos fast.
About
Captions
Captions.ai is built to make your talking-head videos shine—think animated, attention-grabbing subtitles that actually match your tone. The platform lets you style your captions to match your brand and uses speech recognition that nails what you're saying (even if you're mid-rant). Beyond captions, it's got a few AI tricks up its sleeve, like subtly adjusting your eye contact and applying background noise removal so you sound studio-clean without needing a studio.
But here’s the thing—it’s purpose-built for the talk-to-camera crowd. It’s not trying to be a full editing suite, and that’s by design. You won’t be stitching together cinematic sequences or layering on fancy transitions, and it doesn’t dabble much in visual storytelling with things like b-roll. It’s more of a specialist—like the caption stylist and sound engineer rolled into one. So if your workflow is all about delivering strong face-to-camera content, Captions.ai could be exactly what your videos need.

About
HappyScribe
Happy Scribe isn't trying to be your video editor—it just wants to nail your transcriptions and subtitles. And honestly? It's really good at it. Choose between AI (fast and cheap) or human transcribers (accurate but pricier), get your text, make it pretty, and you're done. Journalists love it, researchers swear by it, and anyone dealing with interviews appreciates it.
But here's the thing—that's ALL it does. Need to cut your video? Add effects? Create a story? You're in the wrong place. Happy Scribe does one thing brilliantly, but it's just one thing. You'll definitely need other tools for actual video editing. The question is: is perfect transcription your biggest headache, or are you looking for an all-in-one solution? If you want accurate transcription with video editing capabilities, consider tools that offer both video to text conversion and AI-powered subtitle generation in one platform.

This service is groundbreaking. We use this software now every day at work to subtitle content for Instagram... Highly recommend it.
Kevin Jacobs
For machine translations, this company provided a decent price to translate so many minutes of video.
Sandro Donati
I applied for the (Italian) transcription job more than two months ago but I still haven't gotten any result. They didn't even check my 'application test'. Support is NEVER online and only the bot replies to me.

Frequently asked questions
How does an AI clip maker work?
An AI clip maker scans long-form videos or podcasts using artificial intelligence to automatically identify the most engaging moments, then slices them into short clips with captions, animations, and transitions. It's a powerful way to repurpose content for platforms like TikTok and Instagram.
One thing to note is that an AI clip generator is not necessarily an AI video generator.
Can AI-generated videos be monetized on YouTube?
Yes, as long as your AI-generated videos follow YouTube's monetization guidelines and add original value—like commentary, visuals, or voiceovers—you can absolutely monetize them. AI tools help you create faster, but your creativity is still the magic ingredient.
How do I add a text-to-speech voiceover?
Most AI video editors have a text-to-speech option built in—just type your script, choose your AI voice, and click generate. It’s an easy way to add professional voiceovers to explainer videos, product demos, or tutorials without recording anything yourself.
How does text-to-video AI work?
Text-to-video AI turns written text prompts into fully edited video content—complete with visuals, animations, subtitles, and voiceovers. It automates video production so creators can go from script to video clips in minutes instead of hours.
How to switch the AI Avatar’s voice category?
Most AI avatar tools have voice categories based on tone or language—you just head to the voice settings and pick a different category (like professional, energetic, or friendly). It’s like casting the perfect voice actor, but instantly.
What are the top AI tools for generating video clips?
Top AI tools like Submagic, Pictory, and Descript make it incredibly easy to generate short clips from long-form content. They handle captions, visuals, templates, and even AI voiceovers—ideal for creators repurposing webinars, podcasts, or YouTube content into snackable, engaging videos for social media platforms.
