Tamil caption workflow

Generate, review and export Tamil captions

Turn Tamil speech into a word-timed transcript written in Tamil script and edit it in the browser. Review lines that mix Tamil with English names and numbers, choose a caption style for the platform.

Tamil script

Tamil script captions, timed word by word

Use Auto-detect when your clip contains Tamil speech and the transcript is written in Tamil script. Every word carries its own start and end time, so you can check caption lines against the recording as you edit.

Play the clip from just before a difficult phrase and confirm that the caption appears with the.
Keep space above and below each line so vowel signs and tall letter stacks are never clipped in the.
Fix the words first, then adjust timing and line breaks where the speech runs fast or pauses.

Reels, Shorts and TikTok

Caption placement that respects Tamil letter height

Tall glyph stacks need vertical room, and short video gives you very little of it. Place captions above the app controls, keep them clear of faces and on-screen action, and use the safe-zone guides while you work in 9:16.

Shorten long phrases until each caption reads comfortably on a small screen.
Check contrast against bright or busy footage, like stage lighting in film clips or crowded street.
A caption position that works in 9:16 may cover something important in 1:1 or 16:9, so preview each.

Tamil and English together

Review mixed Tamil-English speech before you publish

Chennai tech talk, film promotion interviews and everyday conversation often move between Tamil and English inside one sentence.

Listen for background music and overlapping voices, where English words inside Tamil lines are.
Keep English brand and product names in Latin letters and Tamil words in Tamil script in the same.
Watch the exported video once end to end and confirm that the last captions still match the speech.

Captioned video, SRT and VTT

Export the Tamil subtitle output you need

Export a video with Tamil captions burned into the picture when you want your font, color and placement to survive any platform. Download SRT or VTT when a publishing team or another editor needs a separate subtitle track.

Video exports use MP4 when your browser supports it and WebM otherwise.
Open SRT and VTT files in the destination player and check Tamil rendering there before you deliver.
An account is required to export. Free and Pro plans both export without a watermark; credits and.

Check your Tamil captions before exporting

Listen and fix the words

Play the recording while reading the Tamil transcript. Check names, song lyrics, film titles and local expressions instead of accepting every generated word.

Read each line as a whole

Tamil words change shape when vowel signs and ligatures are added, so judge full lines rather than isolated letters.

Check line breaks and spacing

Split long phrases so each caption stays short, and leave vertical room for tall letter stacks and vowel signs.

Watch the finished output

Play the exported video through to the end and confirm that the captions follow the speech.

Tamil captions for the clips you publish.

Reels, TikTok and Shorts

Keep Tamil captions readable on a small screen.

Preview in portrait first

Check your clip in 9:16 before posting and confirm the crop keeps the speaker and any on-screen information in frame.

Stay clear of app controls

Use the safe-zone guides to place captions above like buttons and comment drawers, then review the whole composition at the size your.

Match the pace of the speech

Use short phrases and word-timed styles such as Karaoke or Word Pop so fast song lines and dialogue stay easy to follow.

Kollywood clips and song edits

Caption film dialogue and song lyrics without covering the picture.

Get the lyrics right

Song lines are easy to mishear over music. Compare every caption with the audio and adjust spellings to match the way fans usually write.

Protect the frame

Keep captions clear of faces, choreography and existing on-screen text. A solid caption box helps where the background keeps changing.

Time lines to the cuts

Split dialogue and lyric phrases at natural pauses so viewers can read each caption while the scene moves.

News explainers and diaspora channels

Make Tamil current affairs clear for viewers at home and abroad.

Check names and terms

Verify personal names, place names and specialist vocabulary against the recording before you style the captions.

Keep mixed lines readable

English organization names and numbers inside Tamil sentences are normal in news speech. Keep each line short enough to read at a glance.

Deliver both formats

Publish a captioned video that keeps your chosen look, or hand SRT/VTT files to a distributor who loads subtitles in their own player.

Lessons and tutorials

Add Tamil subtitles without hiding the demonstration.

Review the terminology

Correct technical terms and Tamil-English phrases against the audio before a learner relies on the written explanation.

Choose solid contrast

Use a simple style or a caption box over screen recordings and busy backgrounds so the Tamil text stays readable.

Leave the work visible

Move captions away from equations, code, diagrams and hands-on steps so nothing important is hidden behind the text.

Podcast excerpts and interviews

Turn a short Tamil conversation into a captioned clip.

Pick a self-contained excerpt

Choose a clip that fits your plan’s duration limit and makes sense on its own, so the captions stand without the rest of the recording.

Track the speakers

Check interruptions, overlapping speech and introductions carefully, and confirm the words and timing through every speaker change.

Choose the deliverable

Export a captioned clip for social platforms or download SRT/VTT for further editing, and review the final file before you share it.
