About Lafzaly

Lafzaly helps Pakistani creators write captions and subtitles in the Roman Urdu they actually speak and type.

Why we built it

Most captioning tools are designed around English. Roman Urdu, mixed Urdu-English speech and Pakistani phrasing are usually an afterthought, so creators end up retyping subtitles by hand or fixing garbled automatic captions. Lafzaly exists to make that first draft fast and good enough to edit, not to replace the creator's own voice.

What it does

• Text to caption. Describe your post and pick a platform and tone to get a hook, caption, call to action and hashtags in natural Roman Urdu.
• Video to subtitles. Upload a voiceover or video of up to 4 minutes. Lafzaly transcribes the speech with word-level timestamps, groups the words into short subtitle lines, and rewrites them in Roman Urdu.
• Style, edit and export. Pick an animated caption style, edit every line and its timing, then download a captioned video, an SRT or VTT file, or copy the transcript.

How it works

Speech is transcribed with an automatic speech-recognition model (OpenAI's Whisper, run through Groq's API). A large language model then rewrites the transcript into conversational Roman Urdu while keeping English words in English. Timings come from the speech recogniser, so the rewrite step does not change when lines appear.

Honest limits

• Automatic transcription can mishear names, places, dialect words and brand names. Always read the result before publishing.
• Roman Urdu has no official spelling, so you may want to adjust some spellings to your own style. Our writing guide explains how.
• Videos are limited to 4 minutes, and the free plan includes 3 minutes of video transcription per day.
• Exporting a captioned video renders in your browser at normal playback speed (a 1-minute video takes about a minute), and the file format depends on your browser: MP4 where supported, otherwise WebM. Some apps require MP4, so check before you post.
