# Auto Tamil Subtitle Generator

To add Tamil subtitles to a video, upload it or paste a link and choose Tamil as the spoken language. Edit the captions in the subtitle editor, then download SRT or VTT files or burn styled captions into the video.

## How to add Tamil subtitles to a video

1. **Add the video**: Upload a Tamil speech, podcast or vlog as a video file, or paste a YouTube, TikTok, Vimeo or X link.
2. **Choose Tamil**: Open the language list and choose Tamil from the Popular group at the top. Unsure what language a file is in? Auto Detect (beta) also recognises Tamil.
3. **Edit the captions**: Open the subtitle editor to correct words, drag each caption's start and end on the timeline, and set the maximum lines and characters per line.
4. **Download or burn in**: Download SRT, VTT or TXT files, or style the captions in the video editor and download the video with them burned in.

## Frequently asked questions

### How do I add Tamil subtitles to a video?

Upload the video or paste a link and choose Tamil as its language. When the transcript is ready, open the subtitle editor to fix words and timing, then download an SRT or VTT file, or style the captions in the video editor and download the video with them burned in.

### Will Tamil characters display correctly in my subtitles?

SRT and VTT files are plain text that the video player draws with the viewer's fonts, so Tamil shows wherever the device has a font for the Tamil script. Exemplary AI's bundled font set includes Noto Sans Tamil, which covers it. Check the preview before you burn captions into a video.

### Can I turn subtitles in another language into Tamil?

Yes. Generate subtitles in the video's own language, then use Translate in the subtitle editor and pick Tamil, one of the 116 languages subtitles can be translated into.

### Is there a separate option for Sri Lankan Tamil?

No. Pick Tamil for recordings from Tamil Nadu, Sri Lanka, Malaysia or Singapore; the list has no regional Tamil entries.

### Can I fix the timing of Tamil subtitles?

Yes. In the subtitle editor, drag a caption's edges on the timeline to change when it starts and ends, set the maximum lines and characters per line, or re-align the audio and text.
