They mean nearly the same thing, the only difference is in their usage. "She is an able woman" = "She is a capable woman" "He is able to dance (simple verb)" = "He is capable of dancing (used as a noun)"

First of all, both are (adj) You can use (able): 1/ when you can do some thing 2/ We always put "To" after (Able) followed by a base form verb e.g. I am able to learn English. You can use (capable) 1/ When you are capable of doing something 2/ It always comes before Gerund (ING form) e.g. I am capable of taking care of my daughter This difference is only in terms of grammar but there is another obvious difference in usage, it is as follows: You can use it as an adjective before nouns: e.g. You are a capable learner
