A video workspace for independent professionals. Prepare your own words, read close to the lens, and turn a recording into a captioned video. PREPARE A SCRIPT Type, paste, import .txt/.md, or dictate into one editable draft. Tap to start dictation and tap again to stop; text is inserted at your cursor. Explicitly choose AI Polish to fix mistakes, smooth wording or tighten it for reading aloud, with optional output language and target length. AI processes the whole draft. Preview before replacing it, and undo recent changes within the current editing session. READ AND RECORD Voice Follow scrolls with your speech, waits when you pause and follows a repeated sentence. Constant-speed and manual scrolling are also available. Tap the script to pause or continue, double-tap to go back a sentence, long-press to edit when not recording, and pinch to resize text. Record portrait video with the front or back camera and save it to Photos. MAKE A VIDEO Detect retakes, trim silent ends and shorten long pauses. Make captions with on-device speech recognition, using the script as a correction aid, not a replacement for what you actually said. Choose caption styles, an optional translation line, video captions, .srt or both. Captions sit below the face guide; they do not automatically avoid every platform's controls. Adjust loudness, speed and beauty, or export a project for further editing on a computer. Turn on Check Before Making to check cuts and captions before rendering, or review and remake afterwards. Check important facts, names, numbers and translations; automated results can be wrong. PRIVACY AND REQUIREMENTS Requires iOS 26 or later; on-device speech and translation language support varies. Recording, editing, speech recognition and Voice Follow run on your iPhone. After you agree to the Terms of Use, AI Check, caption translation and AI Polish send text to our server and Alibaba Cloud Model Studio in Tokyo, Japan. AI Polish sends the current draft, including typed, pasted and dictated text. Video pictures are not uploaded. Our proxy does not retain content, but the provider may retain inputs and outputs under its terms. We do not enable model-training consent. You can turn online AI off. Cloud audio transcription is not currently offered. Supported on-device processing remains available when online AI is unavailable. FOXTAKE PRO The teleprompter, recording and on-device dictation do not use credits. One-tap video, AI Check, online caption translation, AI Polish, Voice Follow and project export use AI credits, because they use AI computing and have usage limits. Each Apple Account gets starting credits once for trying these features. FoxTake Pro adds credits for each billing period (every month on the yearly plan); unused period credits do not carry over. Subscribers can add credit packs, which do not expire. There is no free trial period. Videos you have already made can still be remade on your iPhone. Monthly: $7.99/month. Yearly: $39.99/year (US prices). The App Store shows local prices before purchase. Online AI also has daily usage protection; at the limit, supported on-device results remain available. Payment is charged to your Apple Account on confirmation. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends; renewal is charged within its final 24 hours. Manage or cancel in Apple Account subscription settings. Your scripts and saved videos remain yours.
