How to translate an Urdu video into English subtitles

Updated 10 November 2026

English subtitles let people who don't speak Urdu follow your video, whether it's a lecture, a bayan, a vlog or a family recording. Here's how to make them on an Android phone without uploading your video anywhere.

What you need

• An Android phone with the Subtitle Converter app (coming soon to Google Play).
• Your video or audio file saved on the phone.
• Internet once, to download the Urdu and English language files. After that it works offline.

Steps

1. Open your video. Pick it in the app, or share it to Subtitle Converter from your gallery, WhatsApp or file manager.
2. Choose English. The app recognises that the speech is Urdu. Set the subtitle language to English.
3. Pick a mode. Fast gives results sooner. Accurate takes longer and handles difficult audio better.
4. Check and edit. Read through the subtitles and correct names, places and religious or technical terms.
5. Save. Save the video with subtitles on screen, the SRT file, or both. Want Urdu subtitles too? Add Urdu as a second language before you start.

Tips for better results

• Clear speech close to the microphone gives the best accuracy. Loud background music lowers it.
• When speakers mix Urdu and English, Accurate mode usually copes better.
• For long recordings, keep the phone charging. The app keeps working in the background and resumes if it stops.
