Caption-Lagao

Roman Urdu

Roman Urdu captions, written the way you type

Roman Urdu is Urdu in the Latin alphabet — kaisay ho, nahi, bohot. That is how most Pakistani and Indian creators type in chats and comments. This page is for turning that speech into on-screen captions.

  • Spoken Urdu → Roman Urdu (Latin letters)
  • Mixed Urdu + English kept as spoken
  • Word-timed burn-in for mute autoplay
  • MP4 + SRT export without a watermark

Sample: Roman Urdu on a talking clip

Checking audio…

A preview of word-timed captions on a short clip — then you style and export.

Who this is for

For creators who speak Urdu (or mixed Urdu–English) and post talking clips on Reels, TikTok, Shorts, or YouTube.

The problem

Auto-captions often write Hindi Devanagari or a stiff translation. Viewers who watch on mute cannot read a script they do not use in comments.

How Caption-Lagao treats the speech

Caption-Lagao transcribes the voice with word timestamps, then can write Urdu as Roman Urdu. English words, brand names, and numbers stay as spoken. You can still edit any line before export.

Your file

The video file stays on this device. Audio is sent only to generate the transcript. Projects are stored locally, not in a public gallery.

How it works

  1. 1

    Upload the clip

    Drop an MP4, MOV, or WEBM. The file does not leave this device as a video upload to a public host.

  2. 2

    Generate captions

    Transcribe with word timestamps. Choose Roman Urdu as the caption output if it is not already selected.

  3. 3

    Edit mixed lines

    Fix any word that should stay English. Split long sentences so they fit a 9:16 frame.

  4. 4

    Style and export

    Pick a caption style, place the block above platform UI, then download MP4 and SRT.

Use Roman Urdu when your audience already types that way. Use Urdu script only when Nastaliq is the point (poetry, news, formal address).

Mixed clips are normal: a sentence can contain Urdu, English slang, and a number. Keep those tokens as they were said, then time the line to the voice.

Export a burned-in MP4 for posting, plus SRT if you need a subtitle file. Captions are not watermarked.

Questions

What is a Roman Urdu caption?

It is Urdu written in Latin letters, matching how people type in WhatsApp and comments — not Nastaliq and not Hindi Devanagari.

Will English words be transliterated?

They should stay in English when they were spoken in English. Always read the line once on mute and correct leftovers before you export.

Can I still export Urdu script?

Yes. Caption output is a setting. Roman Urdu is the default for social clips; you can choose another output and restyle.
