Hindi Subtitle Generator
Add Hindi subtitles to any video automatically. Upload a video with Hindi speech and get accurate, perfectly timed subtitles in Devanagari back in about 30 seconds.
Very little Hindi video is purely Hindi. Creators switch into English mid-sentence, and the transcription follows them instead of forcing every word into one script — so "content" stays "content" and does not come back as a phonetic guess in Devanagari.

What makes Hindi subtitles different
Every language breaks in its own way. These are the parts that matter for Hindi.
Devanagari, correctly encoded
Subtitles export as UTF-8 with conjuncts and matras intact, which is what stops Hindi turning into boxes or question marks in VLC, on YouTube or inside an editor.
Hinglish without the mangling
Code-switching is detected sentence by sentence. English brand names, technical terms and stock phrases stay in Latin script rather than being transliterated into something unreadable.
Roman Hindi if you prefer it
A lot of creators caption Hindi in Latin script because their audience reads it faster on a phone. Export transliterated Roman Hindi instead of Devanagari when that suits the audience better.
Sized for vertical video
Devanagari sits taller than Latin text because of the matras above and below the line. Line lengths and caption boxes account for that so nothing gets clipped in a 9:16 frame.
How to add Hindi subtitles to a video
Upload, review, export. No timeline scrubbing and no timecodes typed by hand.

Drop in an MP4, MOV, MKV or audio file containing Hindi speech. There is nothing to install and no account needed first.

Generate Hindi subtitles
The model transcribes the Hindi audio into Devanagari, keeps English words in Latin script where the speaker used them, and times every line to the frame.

Edit and export
Correct any names or terms in the editor, then download the video with Hindi subtitles burned in, or export a clean .srt or .vtt file.
Devanagari, Roman Hindi, or both
Hindi on video gets written three different ways, and picking the wrong one costs you views. Devanagari is the formal, correct choice and what a Hindi-first audience expects. Roman Hindi — Hindi typed out in Latin letters — is what an enormous amount of the audience actually reads faster, particularly younger viewers on phones who have spent years reading Hinglish in chat. And plenty of channels mix the two deliberately.
Then there is the code-switching problem, which is the one that breaks most automatic transcription. A single Hindi sentence routinely carries three or four English words in it, and a transcription model that has been told "this video is Hindi" will try to render those English words phonetically in Devanagari. The result is technically Hindi script and completely unreadable.
Caption Maker detects the switch as it happens and keeps each word in the script the speaker actually used. You can then export in Devanagari, in Roman Hindi, or edit the mix by hand before you publish.

Frequently Asked Questions
Specific to Hindi, not the generic list.
Does it handle Hinglish, where Hindi and English are mixed?
Yes, and this is the main thing it is tuned for. Code-switching is detected word by word, so English terms stay in Latin script inside a Devanagari line rather than being transliterated phonetically.
Can I get Hindi subtitles in Roman script instead of Devanagari?
Yes. Export transliterated Roman Hindi if that is what your audience reads more comfortably, or export Devanagari, or edit the transcript and mix both. It is the same transcription either way.
Will Devanagari display correctly in the exported SRT?
Yes. Subtitle files are exported as UTF-8, which preserves conjuncts, matras and nukta characters. Files exported in older encodings are the usual reason Hindi subtitles show as boxes in a player.
Does it cope with different regional Hindi accents?
It handles the range you hear across north India, including Delhi, UP, Bihari-inflected and Rajasthani-inflected Hindi. Very heavy dialect combined with poor microphone audio is where accuracy drops, and the editor is there for those cases.
Can it generate English subtitles from a Hindi video?
Translated subtitle tracks are on the roadmap for launch. The Hindi transcript is produced first, so an English track is generated from a corrected source rather than translating a rough transcription.
Can I edit my captions before exporting?
Yes. Correct the transcript, adjust timings, choose a caption style and then export the finished video or a clean SRT or VTT file.
