Overview

Captions, founded in 2021 by Gaurav Misra and Dwight Churchill and based in New York City, builds AI video tools centered on talking-head content: automatic subtitles, AI dubbing across more than 28 languages, and lip-syncing that adjusts mouth movement to match the dubbed audio rather than leaving a visible mismatch between voice and lips.

That lip-sync accuracy is the feature Captions built its reputation on, since dubbed video without it reads as obviously translated no matter how strong the voice clone sounds. Combined with automatic subtitle generation, that makes Captions a common pick for creators and businesses turning one talking-head video into content for multiple language markets without reshooting.

Captions runs a free tier with a watermark, a Pro plan at $9.99 a month, and a Business plan at $29.99 a month for higher volume and team use. For a creator or business that has one talking-head video and needs it to reach non-English-speaking audiences with dubbing that actually looks synced, not merely translated, Captions' lip-sync-first approach addresses that directly.
