Korean captions on every clip, word by word

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 a Korean video is captioned in Korean, not in a dub.

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.

Korean puts spaces between words, so its captions are counted in words, as English ones are: up to 3 at a time in Pop. Each Hangul syllable is as wide as a full character, so the width of the frame also decides how much fits: a caption with long words holds two of them, not three. A comma or the end of a sentence starts a new caption, so 솔직히 말하면 is one, and 처음엔 아무도 저를 the next.

Poppins has no Hangul, so Korean captions are drawn in Noto Sans KR Bold, heavy enough to read over any video. Latin words in a Korean clip are drawn in the same font, so the line doesn't switch halfway through. The font is a few MB, which is why the preview on this page waits for you to ask for it. Your clips don't wait: the font is part of the render.

All 5 styles work in Korean: switch between them on the preview above. Pop is on every plan, Starter included; 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 Korean clip opens with a Korean headline. Reword or remove it on any clip in the editor, or switch headlines off for a video before you start it.

Clyper captions 50+ languages, each in the right font for its script. See how it handles these, or read about captions in every language.

Clyper's site is also in Korean: 한국어.
