Tamil captions for Reels, Shorts and YouTube

Caption a Tamil video free

Tamil creators speak to an audience spread across India, Sri Lanka, Southeast Asia and beyond, and captions are what keep that audience watching on mute. Lumiox writes your Tamil speech word by word, timed to the moment each word is said.

Show captions in Tamil script for native readers, or in English letters for viewers who follow spoken Tamil but read it typed in Roman. Everyday Tanglish, Tamil mixed with English, is handled too.

Popular with creators in Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Malaysia and the global Tamil diaspora.

Use cases

What Tamil creators use it for

  • Film, music and review content for a worldwide Tamil audience

  • Educational Shorts where on-screen text helps learners follow

How it works

  1. 1. Upload your video

    Pick the spoken language. Only the audio is sent for transcription; your video stays on your device.

  2. 2. Check every word

    Captions arrive timed to each word. Fix a name or a spelling by typing over it.

  3. 3. Style and export

    Choose an animated template, then export an MP4 with captions burned in, or an SRT or VTT file.

FAQs

Tamil captions: questions

Does Lumiox handle Tanglish, Tamil mixed with English?

Yes. English words inside Tamil speech are recognised as English, so phrases like "semma video" or tech terms come out correctly instead of being forced into Tamil spellings.

Will Tamil script captions render properly in my exported video?

Yes. Captions are drawn with fonts that support Tamil script, and what you see in the editor preview is exactly what's burned into the exported MP4.

Can I download Tamil subtitles as SRT or VTT?

Yes. Export the finished video as an MP4 with the Tamil captions burned in, or download an SRT or VTT file to upload to YouTube, Facebook or any editor that accepts subtitle files.
