Malayalam caption generator
By the Samsaam team · Updated
Samsaam transcribes Malayalam speech into word-timed captions you can animate, edit and export — in Malayalam’s own script or in Roman Malayalam. Malayalam has some of the longest words of any Indian language, so single-word and stacked templates suit it well.

Frequently asked questions
Can I caption Malayalam in Manglish?
Yes. Choose Roman as the caption script after choosing Malayalam.
Why are my Malayalam captions breaking into short lines?
Long words need room. Use a single-word or two-line template, or reduce the font size in the editor.
