தமிழ் Tamil captions and Tanglish subtitles

Yes. Put the video in the editor, open Captions and press Auto-caption. Language starts on Auto, which takes the language from the voice, so Tamil speech and the English words in it are written as captions, each word at the moment it is said. You can also choose Tamil in the Language list first.

Choose Write in: Latin letters (Tanglish). Tamil words are written the way people type them (“innaikku”, “naan” and “ungalukku”), and English words stay as they were said. The captions are written again at once from what was already heard: nothing is listened to again, and every caption keeps its place and its time.

Yes. Choose Write in: Tamil script. The Tamil words appear in their own letters (“இன்னைக்கு”, “நான்” and “உங்களுக்கு”), and English words such as “friends”, “amazing” and “app” stay in English letters, as people write them. All 87 caption looks draw the script with English words mixed in.

Yes. Choose Write in: Translate to English, or English as the language. The speech is translated phrase by phrase, and each phrase is shown while it is said. Names and English words are kept as they were said. Translate to also lists 50 other languages, Spanish and Japanese among them.

Yes. Ask it in your own words: “Tamil captions” for Tamil script, “captions in Tanglish” or “translate the captions to English”. It sets the choice and writes the captions already made again, without listening again. When the edit has no captions yet, it adds them that way.

Yes. The Captions panel downloads SRT and VTT files, which carry the captions as they are written: in Latin letters, in Tamil script or translated.

Listening to a recording is a captions job, 10 credits, once. Writing the words in Latin letters or translating them is a captions job the first time each is asked for; going back to a writing already made, and choosing English, cost nothing and listen to nothing again. Choosing a language other than the one heard offers Listen again as that language, which is one more captions job.
