Tamil captions in short

Crayo transcribes Tamil speech and adds animated captions to short clips from podcasts, interviews and streams. It is for Tamil creators in Tamil Nadu, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Malaysia and the diaspora who post captioned vertical clips to YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and TikTok.

Tamil has one of the most engaged audiences in Indian short-form video, with Chennai film interview channels, comedy podcasts, gaming streamers and political talk shows producing long recordings, plus large Tamil communities in Sri Lanka, Singapore, Malaysia and the West. YouTube Shorts leads, with Instagram Reels close behind, and TikTok matters outside India.

Tamil is written in its own abugida script with rounded letters, vowel signs that attach before, after, above or below consonants, and a relatively small set of consonants compared to other Indian scripts. Tamil speakers mix in English constantly, and those words usually come through in Latin letters. Crayo transcribes the speech as Tamil when selected; names and English terms are the lines to check in the caption list.

A practical tip: Tamil glyphs are wide, so give captions a large text size and two to three words per caption, and preview the style on the clip before export because the fonts differ across the 32 styles and the vowel signs need a clean rendering to stay readable on a phone.
