Captions in the language your video speaks

What's particular about captioning each of these, and how Clyper handles it, with the captions drawn live:

There's no language to choose. For a YouTube link, Clyper takes the video's language from YouTube; for an upload, or when YouTube doesn't say, it hears it in the speech. If a YouTube video has dubbed audio tracks, Clyper uses the original one, so captions are in the language the video was made in.

The speech is transcribed word by word, with the moment each word starts and ends, and the video's title is used as a hint, so names in it come out right more often. Each clip's captions are built from those times: a few words at a time, with a new caption at the end of a sentence, at a comma and at a pause, so a caption never runs across two thoughts.

The captions are burned into the clip, so they look the same on TikTok, Reels and Shorts, with nothing to upload separately. More on styles, size and placement in how to caption short videos.

A caption is only as good as its font. Clyper picks one for each script from the letters in the transcript, with nothing to set:

• Latin and Devanagari (English, Spanish, Hindi, Marathi and the rest) in Poppins ExtraBold.
• Cyrillic, Greek and Vietnamese in Noto Sans ExtraBold.
• Arabic, Persian and Urdu in Noto Sans Arabic, and Hebrew in Noto Sans Hebrew, right to left.
• Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Gujarati, Gurmukhi and Sinhala, each in its own Noto Sans.
• Thai, Lao, Khmer, Myanmar, Georgian, Armenian and Ethiopic, each in its own Noto Sans.
• Chinese, Japanese and Korean in Noto Sans SC or TC, JP and KR, with Chinese and Japanese written without spaces.

Capitals follow each language's own rules: Turkish and Azerbaijani i becomes İ, German ß becomes SS, and Greek drops its accents in capitals, as Greek is written.

All 5 styles work in every language: switch between them on the preview above, or see each on its own page. Pop is on every plan; Pro and Studio add the other 4, and styles of your own.

• Pop: Three words at a time. The spoken word turns blue with a quick pop. Every plan.
• Karaoke: The whole line stays up and fills with yellow as each word is said. Pro and Studio.
• Highlight: The spoken word gets a bright yellow highlight. Pro and Studio.
• One word: One big word at a time, popping in as it's said. Pro and Studio.
• Plain: Calm subtitles in sentence case on a soft dark band, no animation. Pro and Studio.

On Pro and Studio, each clip opens with its hook as a headline in a box at the top for the first 4 seconds, like the one on the preview above. It's written in the video's language, so a Spanish clip opens with a Spanish headline. Reword or remove it on any clip in the editor, or switch headlines off for a video before you start it.
