YouTube captions for Urdu speech

Shorts need burned-in captions because they play muted in the feed. Longer YouTube videos also need an SRT track for the watch page. You can export both from the same transcript.

  • Shorts 9:16 burn-in
  • SRT for the YouTube subtitle track
  • Word-timed lines, not late paragraphs
  • No watermark on either file

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

Who this is for

For YouTube Shorts, talking-head explainers, and longer videos that need a downloadable subtitle file as well as on-screen text.

The problem

YouTube auto-captions are often late and the wrong script for Urdu. Shorts viewers may never open the CC toggle.

How Caption-Lagao treats the speech

One generate pass writes word timestamps. Burn those into a Shorts MP4, and download SRT for the longer watch-page upload.

Your file

The source video stays on this device. Audio is sent to transcribe. Files are not uploaded to YouTube from this site.

How it works

  1. 1

    Upload the source

    MP4, MOV, or WEBM. Keep the original if you also need a clean master.

  2. 2

    Generate and correct

    Edit names, maths, and English terms. Split long sentences.

  3. 3

    Choose the deliverable

    9:16 burn-in for Shorts. SRT for the YouTube subtitle file.

  4. 4

    Export both if needed

    Download MP4 and SRT from the same project.

Shorts still have subscribe and CTA overlays. Keep captions off the very bottom, same as TikTok.

For long-form, burned-in text can feel noisy. Prefer SRT on the watch page and burn-in only if the video will also be posted as a Short.

YouTube Studio accepts SRT, VTT, and SBV on a long watch page. Caption-Lagao’s SRT is the file to attach there so CC can be toggled, translated, and indexed. Shorts in the shelf still need burn-in because most viewers never open CC.

If you republish a Short as a 16:9 cut, generate once, export 9:16 burn-in for the shelf and SRT for the long cut. Do not recaption a downloaded Short that already has YouTube chrome in the picture.

MP4 for Shorts (burn-in). SRT for YouTube’s subtitle upload on long-form. Neither file includes a Caption-Lagao watermark.

Questions

Should Shorts use SRT or burn-in?

Burn-in. Shorts viewers often never enable subtitles. SRT still helps if you also upload a long version.

Can I upload SRT to YouTube?

Yes. Export SRT from Caption-Lagao, then add it in YouTube Studio as a subtitle track.

Does this replace YouTube auto-captions?

Burn-in is always visible. An SRT track can replace or sit beside YouTube’s automatic captions once you upload it.

Where do I upload the SRT in YouTube Studio?

Open the video in YouTube Studio → Subtitles → Add language → Upload file. Use the SRT from the same Caption-Lagao project as the MP4.
