1Apps with the same reading
2short.ai and OpusClip have the same reading, 3 of the 25 in all.
The reading is the page as it stood on the day read; plans and features move between tiers often.
2Why it matters for short video
Short videos are often watched with the sound off, so captions carry the words. Animated captions also carry the rhythm, which is why several apps lead with them.
