# Hindi Subtitle Generator

ToolSugar writes Hindi subtitles from speech in Devanagari script, as SRT, VTT and text. Burned-in video uses Noto Sans Devanagari, which draws conjuncts and vowel signs correctly. It runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded. Hindi needs a larger Whisper model, a one time download of about 250 to 300 MB.

Runs on your device

## How it works

1. Drop the Hindi video or audio. The language is already set to Hindi and the script to Devanagari.
2. Run it. The file stays on your device, and Hindi downloads a larger speech model the first time.
3. Check the spelling in the preview, then download the subtitle file or burn the captions into a video.

## Key facts

- **Script**: Devanagari by default, with a switch to Latin script on the same page
- **Speech model**: Whisper small, about 250 MB on WASM or 300 MB with WebGPU, because the smaller model wrote Hindi in Urdu script in our tests
- **Accuracy**: Clear speech comes through, but spellings slip. Our test turned दोस्तों into दुस्तों
- **Burn-in font**: Noto Sans Devanagari Bold, shaped by libass inside your browser

## Common uses

- Adding Hindi captions to a YouTube explainer for viewers who watch without sound.
- Subtitling a family or community video where Devanagari is the expected script.
- Preparing a Hindi SRT as the starting point for translation into another language.

## Questions

### Why is the Hindi download so much bigger?

The 77 MB general model wrote Hindi speech in Arabic letters when we tested it. Whisper small writes real Devanagari, so we load it for Hindi. It is a one time download of about 250 to 300 MB, and your browser then keeps it in its cache.

### Will Hindi look right when burned into the video?

Yes. We inspected burned frames of a Hindi test clip and conjuncts, matras and anusvara were shaped correctly. Text is white with a black outline, at the bottom of the frame by default.

### What about a mix of Hindi and English?

Speech models handle code switching unevenly, and this small model is weakest here. English words may appear in Devanagari spelling, and some may be wrong. Read it through before you publish.
