Generate Accurate Subtitles for Punjabi Videos

Frequently Asked Questions

• Where can I check pricing and available trial credits?

  Check the current Pricing page and your account balance before submitting a task. Available trial credits, paid options, and the cost shown for your selected workflow should guide your decision. Review the task settings and displayed estimate before confirming; this guide does not promise a fixed free allowance or a specific price.

• How accurate is Weydub's OCR for Punjabi video subtitle extraction?

  OCR reads Punjabi text already visible in the video image; speech recognition instead transcribes spoken audio. Results depend on image clarity, font, motion, and text placement, so review every extracted line. For Gurmukhi, check vowel and nasalization signs. For Shahmukhi, inspect right-to-left joining and mixed-script direction, especially around names and numbers.

• Can I batch extract subtitles from multiple Punjabi videos?

  Use the available batch workflow to submit multiple videos, then review each result separately rather than assuming one correction applies throughout. Confirm whether every source uses Gurmukhi or Shahmukhi, keep regional vocabulary consistent, and check repeated names and honorifics. Download the reviewed subtitle deliverables according to the output choices shown in the workflow.

• How do I proofread and edit Punjabi subtitles?

  Choose OCR for visible picture text or speech recognition for spoken Punjabi, then edit the generated text and timing during review. Verify Gurmukhi vowel and nasalization signs, or Shahmukhi joining and right-to-left direction. Ask a fluent speaker to check names, honorifics, regional vocabulary, and code switching, and keep line breaks between phrases rather than inside words.

• Do I need professional video editing experience?

  Start by choosing a video and the appropriate subtitle workflow. You do not need to prepare a full editing project, but you should review recognized wording, names, timing, and line breaks before publishing. Specialized dialogue may need a knowledgeable reviewer, especially when a small transcription error changes the meaning.

• What other languages does Weydub support for subtitle timing?

  Check the current language choices in the workflow before submitting a video, because available recognition options can vary. For Punjabi, first identify whether the intended output is Gurmukhi or Shahmukhi rather than treating the scripts as interchangeable. After generation, review subtitle timing against speech boundaries, pauses, and scene changes, particularly where Punjabi is mixed with another language.

• Is there a video length limit for Punjabi videos?

  Check the current upload requirements in the submission workflow before processing Punjabi videos, including any displayed duration, format, or file conditions. For a long recording, inspect several sections after generation rather than only the opening. Review timing after pauses, speaker changes, rapid dialogue, and code-switched passages, then confirm terminology remains consistent across the complete subtitle file.

• How can I style Punjabi subtitles after generation?

  First download and review the subtitle file, then apply it in a compatible downstream editor or player that supports the styling you need. Choose a font with complete Gurmukhi or Shahmukhi coverage, preserve Shahmukhi right-to-left layout, and test punctuation and mixed-script text. Keep lines readable without splitting Punjabi words or separating combining signs from their base characters.

• How do I extract hardcoded Punjabi subtitles?

  Select OCR when Punjabi subtitles are hardcoded into the video image, then identify the text area and review the extracted text and timing. Check frames where captions move, overlap graphics, or appear over complex backgrounds. Confirm the intended Gurmukhi or Shahmukhi script, correct names and signs, and download the reviewed subtitle file in an available format.

• What's the difference between external and hardcoded video subtitles?

  External subtitles are separate files, while a selectable subtitle track is stored within a media container but can still be enabled or disabled. Hardcoded subtitles are pixels in the video image and require OCR for text extraction. Speech recognition is more appropriate when subtitles are absent and the goal is to transcribe spoken Punjabi. Review timing and wording before delivery.

• What should I check before uploading private or licensed footage?

  Use footage you are entitled to process and check the current privacy policy and service terms before uploading sensitive material. For client projects, confirm that the agreed handling of faces, voices, personal details, and licensed media permits this workflow. Ask support about any specific retention or processing requirement rather than assuming a promise from this guide.
