Captions vs Rescript

Captions is an AI video platform for creating and editing videos from footage or prompts. AI Edit can apply cuts, captions, music, and formatting to uploaded material. The service offers automatic transcription, more than 100 caption styles, and translation into over 100 languages. Users can dub videos into more than 30 languages with a cloned version of their voice. Prompt to Video creates talking-head videos from scripts using built-in actors or an AI Twin. The platform is aimed at creators, marketers, and developers making materials such as ads, listing videos, and podcast clips. Its Mirage API generates content from scripts, image references, or actor IDs and uses credit-based billing. The free plan costs nothing and includes no AI usage credits, one caption template, and basic editing tools. Max costs $24.99 a month and includes 500 monthly credits; Frontier plans provide higher credit allowances. Unused credits can roll over for up to two extra months, capped at three times the monthly allowance. Captions is available on Android, iOS, and web, with an API offering.

Rescript is a text-based video and audio editor available on web, Windows, macOS and Linux. Transcription, editing, voice generation and export run on the user's device, and video and audio files are not uploaded for those tasks. Features include automatic captions and silence removal, and users can import SRT, VTT or JSON caption files. Exports include MP4, WebM, M4A, MP3, WAV, TXT, Markdown, SRT, VTT and JSON, with a maximum listed resolution of 4K. Voice regeneration supports English, Spanish, French, German, Italian and Portuguese; cloning another person's voice requires consent. Local features are free without an account, trial or usage meter, but free use is noncommercial under the PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0 license. Commercial use requires a paid license. A Chromium-based browser is recommended, with a WASM fallback for WebGPU. The Whisper model downloads once from Hugging Face and is cached.
