How to get an SRT subtitle file for a Hindi or Hinglish video

Updated 6 October 2026

Upload the video to CaptionOS, choose the language (Hinglish, Hindi, Urdu or English), check the transcript, then open Export and download SRT or VTT. The file has every caption with its start and end time, ready for YouTube Studio or a video editor such as Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve. SRT and VTT are on paid plans, from ₹49 a week.

Step by step

Create an account and start a New project with your video.
Choose the language. Hindi can be written in Devanagari (हिन्दी) or in Roman script (Hinglish).
Read the transcript and fix any word. Adjust caption timing on the timeline if needed.
Open Export and choose SRT (or VTT). The file downloads straight away.

SRT, VTT, text or JSON?

SRT: the most widely accepted subtitle file. YouTube, Facebook and almost every video editor read it.
VTT (WebVTT): the same idea in the format web video players use.
Plain text: just the words, for a description, blog post or script. On every plan.
Timestamped JSON: every word with its time, for developers and custom tools. On every plan.

Already have the script?

If you wrote the script before recording, use Paste transcript in the editor and paste it in. CaptionOS lines your exact words up with the audio, so the subtitles use your spelling and the timing still follows your voice.

Burned-in captions instead

For Instagram Reels, WhatsApp Status and most short-video apps, a subtitle file isn’t enough: those apps show what is in the video. Export an MP4 with the captions burned in instead; see how to add Hinglish captions to Reels.
