The Problem

Two traps every other tool falls into

You speak Tanglish. Your audience reads Tanglish. But every AI gives you something else.

The English Trap

Tools like Whisper, Otter, Descript, and YouTube Auto-Captions try to transcribe everything as English. Tamil words become garbled nonsense.

You said: "naan oru video poten, nee paathiya?"
Tool gave you: "Non or video put on, knee path here?"
You said: "Ipo live la vaanga bro"
Tool gave you: "People live love on go bro"
TanglishCaptions gives you: "naan oru video poten, nee paathiya?" / "Ipo live la vaanga bro"

The Tamil Script Trap

Tools like VEED, Submagic, Kapwing, and Happy Scribe correctly detect Tamil — but output it in Tamil script (தமிழ்). Your social media audience doesn't read Tamil script on Reels.

You said: "naan oru video poten, nee paathiya?"
Tool gave you: "நான் ஒரு வீடியோ போட்டேன், நீ பாத்தியா?"
You said: "Ipo live la vaanga bro"
Tool gave you: "இப்போ லைவ் ல வாங்க ப்ரோ"
TanglishCaptions gives you: "naan oru video poten, nee paathiya?" / "Ipo live la vaanga bro"

Loved by Tamil creators

Creators are switching from manual captioning to Tanglish captions in minutes.

I used to spend hours manually typing Tanglish captions. This tool captures every Tamil word perfectly — exactly how we say it.

The most accurate Tanglish AI I've tried. Every other tool only gives me English subtitles which don't connect with my Tamil audience. This gets it right.

My editing time went from 4 hours to 15 minutes. The captions are viral-ready straight out of the box.
