Punjabi Auto Captions

Punjabi captions in short

Crayo transcribes Punjabi speech and adds animated captions to short clips from podcasts, interviews and streams. It is for Punjabi creators in India and the diaspora in Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States who post captioned clips to YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and TikTok.

Punjabi content has a home audience in Indian Punjab and one of the most influential diasporas in short-form video, centred on Canada and the United Kingdom, where Punjabi music, comedy and interview channels have huge reach. Podcast interviews with artists and long comedy shows are prime clipping material, and YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels carry the cuts.

Punjabi in India is written in Gurmukhi, an abugida with vowel signs around the consonants and a headline joining letters, while Punjabi in Pakistan uses the Shahmukhi script. Crayo transcribes the speech into Gurmukhi when Punjabi is selected. Speakers mix in English and Hindi freely, so borrowed words may come back in either script and are easy to adjust in the caption list.

A practical tip: Gurmukhi needs vertical space for the signs above and below the headline, so use a caption style with generous line height, two to four words per caption, and preview it on the clip before export because the fonts differ between the 32 styles.
