Generate Accurate Subtitles for Urdu 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 Urdu video subtitle extraction?

  OCR reads Urdu text already visible in video frames; it does not transcribe speech. Results depend on image clarity, contrast, motion, and the font used. Review right-to-left order, contextual letter joining, word spacing, punctuation beside Latin brands or numbers, honorifics, and proper names before using the extracted subtitles.

• Can I batch extract subtitles from multiple Urdu videos?

  Yes, use the batch workflow when it is available in the current upload options. Select the appropriate recognition mode for each source: OCR for Urdu captions visible in the picture, or speech recognition for spoken dialogue. Review each video's text, cue timing, names, and line breaks separately before downloading its output.

• How do I proofread and edit Urdu subtitles?

  Compare every cue with the audio or visible source text, then correct spelling, timing, and line breaks. Check right-to-left reading order, joined letter forms, honorifics, proper names, and spacing. For code-switched lines, inspect punctuation around Latin brands or numbers, and do not automatically rewrite similar-sounding Hindi speech as Urdu.

• 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 workflow choices for available recognition and output languages before submitting a video. Select the language actually spoken or shown rather than treating similar-sounding Hindi and Urdu as interchangeable. After generation, verify cue timing against speech, preserve complete phrases across cue boundaries, and review mixed-language names, brands, and numbers manually.

• Is there a video length limit for Urdu videos?

  Upload conditions can vary, so check the current workflow requirements before submitting Urdu videos. If several files are involved, use the available batch workflow rather than assuming every file has identical conditions. Confirm that each upload completes, choose OCR or speech recognition as appropriate, and review the resulting text and timing independently.

• How can I style Urdu subtitles after generation?

  First review and download the subtitle file, then apply it in a compatible downstream editor or player that supports styling. Choose a font that renders Urdu clearly, confirm right-to-left layout and contextual joining, and test mixed Urdu and Latin text. Keep lines readable and avoid breaking joined words across subtitle lines.

• How do I extract hardcoded Urdu subtitles?

  Choose OCR rather than speech recognition when the Urdu subtitles are burned into the video picture. Submit a clear source, identify the subtitle area if the workflow requests it, and review the extracted cues for missed text, duplicate overlays, timing, right-to-left order, letter joining, and names before downloading the subtitle file.

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

  External subtitles are separate files, such as SRT, that contain text and cue timing. A selectable embedded track is stored inside the video container but remains distinct from the picture. Hardcoded subtitles are pixels in the frames and require OCR for extraction. Review the downloaded subtitle file before embedding or styling it downstream.

• 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.
