Bringing a Sindhi video in
Drop in the video file without converting it: MP4, MOV, MKV, WEBM, AVI, 3GP or a screen recording from your phone. The audio is pulled out on our server, so every timestamp still points to the right moment in the video. If the video is online, choose Import from link and paste a public link from YouTube, TikTok, Vimeo, Dropbox or Google Drive, or a direct link to the file; only the sound is downloaded.
Facebook and WhatsApp videos can be saved to your phone and uploaded as files. The draft opens next to a player; click any line to hear it again while you fix it.
A rough draft, honestly
Sindhi has very little training data in the speech model. Expect a rough draft with many corrections: wrong word boundaries, missing letters and Urdu spellings in place of Sindhi ones. One clear speaker close to the microphone gives the best result, and a timed draft is still faster to fix than typing a whole video by hand.
The transcript uses the Perso-Arabic Sindhi alphabet used in Pakistan, with its extra letters such as ڄ, ڃ, ڻ and ڪ, though the model sometimes falls back to the plainer Urdu forms. Sindhi written in Devanagari, as some families in India use, is not produced. Videos often mix in Urdu and English; if a talk is mostly Urdu with some Sindhi, select Urdu instead.
Sindhi videos people bring
Typical uploads:
- News and talk-show clips from Sindhi channels on YouTube.
- Poetry readings and talks on Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai's verse.
- Religious talks and community events.
- Family interviews filmed in Karachi, Hyderabad, Dubai or London.
Right-to-left subtitles
Export SRT or VTT once the draft is corrected. The text is UTF-8 and right-to-left; YouTube shows it correctly, while some desktop subtitle editors move punctuation to the wrong end of the line. If the extra Sindhi letters show as boxes, switch to a font that covers the full Sindhi alphabet. DOCX and PDF keep the script for printing.
English and the audio page
The transcript stays in Sindhi; there is no built-in translation. To read it in English, open the Google Translate link on the transcript, or use the AI prompt export to hand the text to ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini. Sung kafi and music in the background are hard to transcribe, so focus on spoken parts first. Speaker labels are available on paid plans and with a Minute Pack. For audio-only recordings, see the Sindhi audio to text page.
