Upload a Nepali video or audio file, or paste a link, and download timed subtitles in Devanagari: SRT for YouTube and video editors, VTT for web players.
How it works
Drop a file, or paste a public link from YouTube, Google Drive or a podcast feed. Files over 500 MB continue on the upload page, up to 10 hours or 5 GB.
Read the first Nepali cues against the audio. Correct a line on the transcript and the subtitle file carries the correction.
SRT for YouTube Studio and video editors, VTT for web players. TXT, DOCX and JSON come from the same transcript.
What to expect with Nepali
For a transcript rather than subtitles, see transcribe Nepali, Nepali audio to text and Nepali YouTube video to text. For subtitles from any YouTube link, YouTube to SRT; for any file, the SRT generator.
Captioning Nepali
Nepali is written in Devanagari, the same script as Hindi, with standard Nepali spelling and the purna biram (।) to end a sentence. Hindi and English words come up often in Nepali speech, especially in news and interviews, and they appear as spoken.
Nepali spelling keeps distinctions that speech has lost: श, ष and स are all said as s, and व is often said as b. Spelling a word from its sound alone therefore goes wrong in formal and Sanskrit-derived vocabulary, so check names and official terms against standard spelling when you review.
Nepal's official calendar is Bikram Sambat, which runs about 56 to 57 years ahead of the Gregorian one. A speaker who says a year such as २०८१ is almost always using that calendar. Do not "correct" those years when you review the cues, and add the Gregorian year in brackets yourself if your audience needs it.
Delivery

Each cue is a phrase from the transcript with its start and end time. Most run a few seconds. A passage spoken without a pause can come out as one long cue of up to about half a minute, so split those in your editor if your platform wants two short lines at a time.
Cue times are taken from the recording itself, so the file lines up with the video or audio you uploaded. If you trim the start of the video afterwards, shift the cues by the same amount in your editor.
Open the transcript, correct a misheard name or number on its line, and the SRT and VTT you download carry the correction with the timing unchanged.
You get the subtitle file. Fonts, colours, position and captions drawn into the picture are done in your video editor or player, which reads this file.
Up to 10 hours or 5 GB per recording. The box on this page takes files up to 500 MB; larger ones continue on the upload page. 99+ languages, detected automatically.
Speakers are identified and named in the summary, key quotes and chapters. The cues in the subtitle file carry the words and their timing only.

No. The text is in Nepali, in Devanagari with standard Nepali spelling. Hindi or English phrases inside the speech appear as spoken.
They are probably Bikram Sambat years, about 56 to 57 years ahead of the Gregorian calendar. That is what the speaker said, so keep them, and add the Gregorian year yourself if needed.
