A Captions.ai alternative built for the desktop browser
Captions is a slick mobile-first AI app. CapStudio is a focused, private captioning tool for your laptop, with footage that never leaves the browser.
Captions (captions.ai) packs in AI features like eye-contact correction and an AI presenter, mostly on mobile, processed in their cloud. CapStudio takes a narrower bet: styled, accurate captions, on the desktop, processed entirely in your browser. No upload, no AI gimmicks you did not ask for, and real tuning for Czech and Slavic languages.
