Captions, founded in 2021 and known for its Mirage AI avatar feature, built its original reputation specifically on automatic, accurate video captioning and dubbing, translating spoken content into other languages while preserving the speaker's own voice and lip-sync, before extending into full AI-avatar generation.
That captioning-and-dubbing heritage still differentiates it from avatar tools that started with the avatar itself: Captions' translation and lip-sync accuracy reflects years of dedicated refinement on that specific technical problem, now available alongside Mirage's talking-head avatar generation in the same mobile-first app.
A free tier covers standard use, and paid plans start around $10 a month for more features. For a creator who wants strong captioning and multilingual dubbing alongside AI avatar generation, rather than an avatar tool where captioning feels like an afterthought, Captions' captioning-first heritage addresses that combination directly.
