How Hindi becomes Tamil
The sound is taken out of the video in your browser and written down as Hindi — named, not detected. Each line keeps the moment it was said. The lines are then translated into Tamil and written in Tamil script, so the subtitle reads the way a Tamil speaker expects rather than as Hindi words spelled out in Tamil letters.
Hindi and Tamil are unrelated and the word order differs, so a translated line is often a different length from the Hindi it came from. Each line keeps the original's timing rather than its length, which is why the Tamil stays in step with the speaker instead of drifting.
Features
Hindi named, not guessed
Auto-detect is where Indian-language subtitles go wrong. This page starts with Hindi already chosen.
Tamil script, not transliteration
The translation is produced in Tamil letters, so it reads as Tamil rather than as Hindi written in a Tamil alphabet.
Timed to the speaker, not the text
Tamil often needs a different number of words; each line keeps the Hindi line's timing so it doesn't drift.
Frequently asked questions
Will the Tamil be in Tamil script?
Yes, in Tamil letters (தமிழ்). The lines are translated into Tamil, not transliterated, so what appears on screen is Tamil as it is written rather than Hindi sounds respelled.
Why pick this page instead of the general Tamil translator?
Because the spoken language is already set to Hindi here. On Auto-detect our own testing found Indian languages regularly heard as the wrong one — Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam and Punjabi were misheard on every clip we tried, and most Bengali was heard as Hindi. With Hindi named, the speech is written down as Hindi and only then translated into Tamil, which is the difference between a usable subtitle file and one you rewrite by hand.
Is the video uploaded?
No. Only the sound is sent to be written down, and only the text to be translated; neither is kept. The picture never leaves your device, and a video with the subtitles drawn in is put together there.
