Urdu podcast captions for the clips people actually watch

The episode is long, but the clip that gets shared is short and usually watched on mute. If the captions miss the Urdu or mangle the English words, the moment scrolls past. Cut the moment, upload it, pick Urdu or Roman Urdu, and export the captioned clip.

How it works

How to caption an Urdu podcast clip

Cut the moment first, then review the transcript, style the captions and export the clip or a subtitle file. Guests and Free accounts can upload videos up to 5 minutes, and Pro takes clips up to 10 minutes.

01

Cut and upload the clip

Trim the moment before you upload: this workflow handles clips, not full episodes. Guests can caption without an account, and the Free plan covers videos up to 5 minutes.

02

Review both speakers

Fix guest names, brand terms and English words in the transcript. There is no automatic speaker detection, so type a short name at the start of a turn when viewers need to follow who said what.

03

Style and export

Choose Nastaliq or convert to Roman Urdu, pick a word-highlight style, then export one aspect ratio at a time or download SRT or VTT. An account is required to export.

Styles

Choose a style for your Urdu podcast clips

Preview caption styles including word-highlight options, then adjust type, color, size and placement in the editor. Two-person shots need a caption position that keeps both faces visible, so preview the full clip before export.

Features

Features behind your Urdu podcast captions

  • Word-Level Timing

    Captions follow each spoken word. Review the transcript and correct text before export.

  • Styles You Can Adjust

    Choose from standard and animated caption styles, then tune type, color, and emphasis.

  • Word-timed Urdu across two speakers

    Transcription places a start and end time on every word, so captions keep up with fast talk, interruptions and code-switching between Urdu and English. Review the whole conversation in one transcript, and convert between Urdu script and Roman Urdu without uploading again.

  • Place Captions Where They Fit

    Drag captions into position and use platform safe-zone guides to keep them clear.

  • Export Video Or Subtitle Files

    Download your captioned video or save timestamped SRT and VTT subtitle files.

  • Edit In Your Browser

    Upload, review, and style captions in one browser workflow. No video editor to install.

Urdu podcast clip workflow

Caption the moment, not the whole episode

Cut the shareable moment from your Urdu podcast recording and turn it into a captioned clip. Transcription is word-timed, so captions keep pace with fast talk, interruptions and mixed Urdu-English speech. Export a captioned video for social platforms or a subtitle file for your editor.

Clip length

Clips that fit your plan

Upload the trimmed moment, not the full episode. Guests can caption without an account inside a 50-credit session, and videos run up to 5 minutes on the Free plan and up to 10 minutes on Pro. One credit covers six seconds of audio, and the maximum upload is 100 MB. A short, self-contained excerpt is also far easier to proof than an hour of conversation.

  • Cut the moment before upload: a 45-second share is easier to review than a full interview.
  • Pick an excerpt that makes sense on its own, so the captions read without the rest of the recording.
  • An account is required to export the captioned clip or a subtitle file, and credits and per-video limits still apply.

Two speakers

Follow host and guest through interruptions

Podcast speech is fast and overlapping, and AutoCaption does not label speakers for you. Review the transcript at every change of voice and confirm the words match the person on screen. When viewers need to know who is talking, type a short name at the start of the turn. Keep each caption line short so a back-and-forth stays readable.

  • Listen through interruptions and overlaps, then adjust the cue boundaries wherever words bleed together.
  • Verify guest names and introductions against the audio before you style the captions.
  • For side-by-side shots, place captions where both faces stay visible. The caption box is not locked to the bottom of the frame.

Mixed speech

Keep Urdu-English lines honest

Guests move between Urdu and English inside a single sentence, and small errors hide exactly there. Scan brand terms, names and English words before export, and fix any line that reads as nonsense. Roman Urdu keeps heavily mixed speech in one writing system, so it often reads more naturally for younger audiences. Convert between Urdu script and Roman Urdu in the editor without re-transcribing.

  • Numbers, names and product terms are the usual suspects: proof them against the recording, not from memory.
  • Conversion changes the writing system only and never translates, so check spellings after converting.
  • Find and replace helps when a name should be spelled one way throughout the clip.

Export

A captioned clip or a subtitle file

Burn captions into a 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9 video when the clip is going straight to Reels, Shorts or TikTok. Each export is one ratio, so run the export again for the next crop. Download SRT or VTT when the clip continues into another editor or a YouTube subtitle track. Keep the tab open until rendering finishes.

  • Burned-in video keeps your chosen font, color and placement on every phone. Video exports use MP4 when your browser supports it and WebM otherwise.
  • SRT and VTT contain timed text only, so the receiving player or editor controls the subtitle appearance.
  • Exports have no watermark. Free and Pro plans both export without one; credits and per-video limits apply.

Proof the clip before it goes out

Cut the moment first

Trim the excerpt before you upload and check it against your plan’s duration limit: 5 minutes on Free, 10 minutes on Pro. Start the cut a breath before the moment and end it after the last line, so the captions land naturally.

Keep the speakers straight

Listen at every change of voice and confirm the transcript follows the right person. Where the clip is a real back-and-forth, type a short name at the start of a turn. Adjust cue boundaries where an interruption cuts a line in half.

Match the writing system to the audience

Convert between Urdu script and Roman Urdu in the same project without uploading again. Nastaliq suits readers of Urdu script, while Roman Urdu keeps heavily mixed speech in Latin letters. Review names and spellings after the conversion.

Open the finished clip

Watch the exported clip and confirm the captions match the speech through the last line. If you exported SRT or VTT, open the file where it will be used and check the Urdu rendering there. The destination player controls subtitle fonts; burned-in video keeps your style.

Urdu podcast clip captions for the moments people share.

Podcasters and talk shows

Turn long Urdu conversations into short captioned clips.

Cut a self-contained excerpt

Choose a moment that works on its own and fits your plan’s duration limit, then upload just that clip.

Proof two voices

Review interruptions, overlapping speech and speaker changes carefully. There is no automatic speaker detection, so mark turns in the transcript yourself.

Ship one clip to every platform

Export 9:16 for Reels, then 1:1 or 16:9 for other feeds, and keep an SRT or VTT from the same project for YouTube.

Reels, TikTok and Shorts creators

Post podcast moments that stay readable on mute.

Word-timed highlight

Let the caption follow the speaker word by word, so a fast answer does not arrive as one unreadable block.

Safe-zone placement

Drag captions clear of the like, comment and share controls using the platform safe-zone guides.

Burned-in vertical export

Export a 9:16 video with the captions already in it, ready to post without any extra text work.

Interviewers and documentary creators

Get guest names and mixed speech right in the captions.

Verify names and places

Listen back to introductions and local references, and correct personal names before styling the captions.

Read the mixed lines fully

Check Urdu-English sentences as complete lines, because the errors live where the two languages meet.

Keep both faces visible

Place the captions where they cover neither speaker, and re-check placement if you change the aspect ratio.

Content teams and agencies

Deliver reviewed clip captions to clients and editors.

Agree on the writing system

Confirm whether the client’s audience reads Nastaliq or Roman Urdu before the final export.

Hand off editable work

The project re-opens for corrections, so a wording change is an edit rather than a new caption job.

Deliver reviewed files

Open the final video and any subtitle files before handoff, and note that SRT and VTT carry timed text only.

The hard part

Why Urdu podcast clips are hard to caption

Podcast speech is not script-reading. Guests talk fast, switch languages, and interrupt each other.

Code-switching

A line like a startup comment in Urdu with an English word in the middle needs both parts readable. Review those lines. Roman Urdu often keeps heavily mixed speech in Latin letters.

Script choice

Some audiences read Nastaliq (Urdu calligraphy-style script). Many younger viewers read Roman Urdu faster. Pick per clip, or convert in the editor without a new transcription.

Timing

A whole answer popping in at once loses people. Word-timed captions keep the eye moving with the speaker, right to left for Urdu script.

How it works

Caption the clip, not the whole episode

Trim first. This page does not ingest hour-long episodes. Guests and Free: 5 minutes and 100 MB. Pro: 10 minutes and 100 MB.

From episode moment to a post

  1. 1

    Cut the clip

    Trim the moment before you upload. A 45-second share is easier to proof than a full interview.

  2. 2

    Upload and choose a language

    Pick Urdu for Nastaliq laid out right to left, or Roman Urdu for Latin script. You can convert between them in the editor. This page starts on Urdu.

  3. 3

    Review the transcript

    Every word has its own timestamp. Fix names, brand terms, and English words before export. There is no automatic speaker detection.

  4. 4

    Pick a style

    Karaoke, Word Pop, and Clean Minimal are free, along with other animated styles. Adjust font, outline, and colours. A few premium styles need Pro.

  5. 5

    Export one ratio, or a subtitle file

    Burn captions into 9:16, 1:1, or 16:9. Each export is one ratio, so run it again for another crop. Download SRT or VTT if you also want a subtitle file. Export needs a confirmed email.

Two voices

Tips for captioning a two-person conversation

Keep lines short

Two short lines read better than one long line over a busy podcast set. Captions are grouped to stay within a short line length.

Mark turns when it matters

If the clip is a back-and-forth, type a short name at the start of a turn so viewers can follow who said what.

Proof the English words

Mixed-language speech is where small errors hide. Scan English terms and names before you export.

Place captions away from faces

For side-by-side host and guest shots, lower-center placement usually keeps both faces clear. Drag the box; it is not locked to the bottom.

These are edits you make in the transcript. AutoCaption does not label speakers for you.

FAQ

Urdu podcast clips, answered

Limits, mixed speech, and what is not automatic.

Yes. Upload the clip, choose Urdu or Roman Urdu, and you get word-timed captions you can edit, style, and burn in, or export as SRT/VTT. Cut the clip to the plan's length first.

That is normal in podcasts. Review the transcript and fix any line before export. Roman Urdu often reads more naturally for heavily mixed speech, because both languages stay in Latin letters. See /captions/roman-urdu.

Guests and Free accounts: up to 5 minutes and 100 MB. Pro: up to 10 minutes and 100 MB. Trim longer segments before uploading. That covers most Reels, Shorts, and TikTok clips. It does not cover a full hour episode in one upload.

Yes. Export 9:16, 1:1, or 16:9. Each export is one ratio, so run the export again for the next crop. SRT and VTT are available from the same project for a YouTube subtitle track.

The caption studio is free to try, and exports have no watermark. You can upload a clip without an account. Guest clips are up to 5 minutes and 100 MB, inside a 50-credit session (one credit is six seconds of audio). Downloading the captioned video, SRT, or VTT needs a free account with a confirmed email. There is no automatic speaker detection.

Transcription sends only the audio extracted in your browser. The captioned video is rendered on your device. A signed-in account also stores the project in your cloud library. Guests keep the session on the device until they create an account.
