Caption Pro

What is Caption Pro?

Caption Pro is a desktop app for photographers, picture desks and digital asset managers that edits image metadata with the help of AI. It watches a folder, recognizes faces against a database of over 100 thousand celebrities and people of interest plus a private database that learns as you work, and suggests names for each face. Text and number detection links players to their shirt numbers when a face is not visible. The app then builds captions from your own phrase lists, inserts the detected names, and can add keywords for objects, logos, actions and scenes using a visual language model with hierarchical keyword taxonomies. You can edit more than 50 IPTC and XMP fields, use formulas to fill fields and filenames automatically, and export to disk or FTP. Pricing is a subscription in pounds: Personal is £7.99 per month, Small Team £200, Medium Team £350 and Large Team £600 per month, with Enterprise available.
