TORONTO - s4story -- Seapines AI today announced CaptionEdge v1.4.0, introducing facial recognition capabilities that automatically identify and name people in photos and videos. The update transforms captions from generic descriptions like "two people at the beach" into personalized stories like "Sarah and John at the beach," all while maintaining 100% on-device processing for complete privacy.

"Facial recognition represents a major leap forward in making captions truly personal and meaningful," said Jimmy Lo, Founder of Seapines AI. "Instead of generic descriptions, users now get captions that tell a complete story with names. This is especially powerful for social media creators, families preserving memories, and professionals managing large photo collections. And because all processing happens on-device, users maintain complete privacy and control over their facial data."

The facial recognition feature allows users to add photos of people they want the app to recognize through an intuitive interface. The app automatically detects and identifies faces when generating captions, working seamlessly with all caption styles and description modes. Users can export their entire facial database to a JSON file for backup or transfer between devices, ensuring their recognized faces are never lost.

The update also includes an upgraded Vision Language Model for enhanced vision understanding and better accuracy. Database optimizations provide faster face recognition with optimized queries and reduced memory usage. Improved error handling and enhanced stability improvements ensure a smooth user experience throughout the app.

CaptionEdge continues to process all content locally on the user's device, ensuring complete privacy and security. Facial recognition data, photos, videos, and personal information never leave the user's iPhone or iPad. "Privacy remains fundamental to everything we do, especially with facial recognition," emphasized Lo. "Users can process sensitive content without any risk of data exposure. All AI processing happens on-device."
