About Tamil recordings

Tamil is written in Tamil script. Spoken Tamil differs a lot from written Tamil, and Indian and Sri Lankan Tamil differ too; the transcript follows the speech. Tamil mixed with English (Tanglish) keeps English words in English.

How to make Tamil subtitles

  1. Upload the video or audio (up to 5 GB) or paste a link from YouTube, TikTok, Facebook or another platform.
  2. Keep Tamil as the spoken language (or auto-detect), add a translation if you also want subtitles in another language, and pay once.
  3. Download the Tamil SRT file and add it to your video in YouTube Studio, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, CapCut, VLC or any player that reads SRT.

What the Tamil SRT file contains

Numbered subtitle blocks, each with a start time, an end time and the Tamil text spoken in between. It is plain UTF-8 text, so you can open it in any text editor, correct a name or a word and upload it again. You also get the full transcript as TXT, with and without timestamps.

Subtitles in Tamil and in a second language

Choose a translation language before paying and you get two SRT files with identical timings: the original Tamil subtitles and the translated ones. One translation is included in the price, so bilingual or translated captions for YouTube, courses and social video take no extra work.

Captions for YouTube, social video and editing

YouTube Studio accepts SRT files directly under Subtitles. Most video editors import SRT as a caption track that you can style and burn into the picture; for TikTok, Reels or Shorts you can paste the text into the app's own caption tool. The file is yours to edit and reuse, with no watermark.

Written in Tamil, not in Latin letters

Your transcript comes back in Tamil, the script Tamil is normally written in, not as a romanised approximation. The SRT file is plain UTF-8 text, so the characters display correctly in YouTube Studio, VLC, Premiere Pro and other modern players and editors.

An honest note on accuracy

Automatic speech recognition has seen far less recorded Tamil than English or Spanish, so expect more mistakes in names, place names and specialist terms, especially in noisy recordings. Clear speech close to the microphone gives the best result. If a paid file cannot be transcribed at all, you are refunded automatically.

Questions

How do I add the Tamil SRT to a YouTube video?

In YouTube Studio open the video, go to Subtitles, add Tamil as a language, choose Upload file, select "With timing" and pick the SRT file. The captions appear once YouTube has processed them.

Are the subtitle timings accurate?

Each subtitle block starts and ends with the speech it contains, based on the timing of the recognised words. Long silences, music and overlapping voices can shift a line slightly; you can adjust any time in a subtitle editor or a plain text editor.

Can I get Tamil subtitles translated to English?

Yes. Pick English (or any of 141 other languages) as the translation language before paying. You get the Tamil SRT and a English SRT with the same timings.

How much do Tamil subtitles cost?

$1 for a file up to 60 minutes and $3 up to 10 hours, the same for every language. You see the exact price after the file is checked and before you pay, and there is no subscription.

Will the Tamil transcript be in Tamil?

Yes. The text is written in Tamil, the way Tamil is normally written, not transliterated into Latin letters.

Is Tamil supported as well as English?

It is supported, but less recorded Tamil exists for training speech models, so the transcript usually needs more checking than an English one. The price is the same, and a file that fails entirely is refunded automatically.
