Pros & Cons
Captions
+ AI Eye Contact — auto-corrects your gaze to look directly at camera even when reading notes
+ Script-to-video in under 3 minutes: paste text, choose style, export
+ Auto-captions with high accuracy across 28 languages
+ AI B-roll insertion matches footage to your script automatically
+ Removes filler words (um, uh, like) from audio with one click
− Best results require decent original video footage to work from
− Custom AI avatars only on Pro plan ($39.99/mo)
− Not a replacement for full video production — best for talking-head repurposing
ElevenLabs
+ Most realistic text-to-speech available — period
+ Clone your voice from 1 minute of audio
+ 120+ languages and accents
+ Emotional control — sad, excited, whispered
+ API for bulk generation
− 30K chars/mo on starter plan is limiting
− Voice cloning can be misused — ethical considerations
− Pro voices require higher tier plans
