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.

Gling.ai is an AI video editor that helps creators cut silences and mistakes from talking videos—fast.

About

Gling

Gling.ai acts like your assistant editor, laser-focused on cutting the boring stuff. It scans your raw footage for filler words, awkward pauses, and botched takes—then trims them out automatically. Designed for YouTubers and vloggers, it streamlines the most tedious part of editing: cleaning up talking-head videos. Upload your clips, let the AI do its sweep, and you get a tighter cut in a fraction of the time.

That said, AI isn’t always great at nuance. A dramatic pause might get chopped, and a "bad take" isn’t always objectively bad. You’ll still want to review the edit, but as a first-pass trimmer, it’s a serious time-saver. Just don’t expect tools for motion design, story layering, or caption styling. It’s built to clean up the mess—not dress up the final cut.

Every time - EVERY DAMN TIME! - I export a video from Captions the audio goes out of sync. It's very frustrating and makes a simple job extremely complicated

Do you think you can scam my money without facing consequences? If you don’t pay up immediately, I guarantee this won’t end here. I will do whatever it takes to expose your scam. Don’t let your cheap greed lead to even worse consequences. This is your last chance to do the right thing.

In general, I as a customer like it because it allows us to record long videos with pauses and errors that would normally be a headache to edit, but you can do it very quickly with Gling. It is easy to use, perhaps it does not have as many functions as others but that is compensated by the possibility of exporting the timeline to the most used editors.

Gling is the idea. The capacity to consequently remove quiets and silence in recordings is a lifeline for any individual who alters a great deal of talking-head content, such as myself. It saves a lot of time contrasted with physically altering each clasp.
