What you get in Odia

A speech model made for Odia

Odia speech can be written two ways, and Burncaps asks you once which you want. Our speech service (Microsoft's MAI-Transcribe, run in the EU) writes it best and names the language by itself: on public Odia test recordings (Google FLEURS) it got about 82 in 100 words and 92 in 100 letters right before any correction, in Odia script, in about half a second a clip. Only the sound goes to it, never the picture, and nothing is kept. Or everything stays on your device: a speech model made for Odia (AI4Bharat's IndicConformer, open source, 138 MB once) got about 74 in 100 words and 92 in 100 letters right on the same kind of recordings. Every word is click-to-edit before you export.

Odia script, drawn properly

Odia words are drawn in Noto Sans Oriya, an open-source face made for Odia script and served from Burncaps itself, at the weight of the style you choose.

Odia captions on an English video

Speak English and choose Odia under Captions in: every line is translated and laid over the same moments, so the captions keep their word-by-word rhythm. The reverse works too, Odia speech captioned in English.

Who this is for

Odia creators in Odisha and beyond, and anyone who wants the same video to reach Odia viewers. Search for "odia caption generator" and most results upload your video to a server and charge by the month; Burncaps does the work on your own device, so the free videos are not bait: after them you can keep going free with a small burncaps.app mark, or pay $49, once, for none.

Questions, answered plainly

Does it write real Odia?

Yes, in Odia script. When Burncaps hears an Indian language it offers our speech service, which names the language itself and got about 82 in 100 Odia words right in our test (only the sound is sent, never the picture, and nothing is kept), or a speech model made for Odia that runs on your own device (138 MB once, about 74 in 100). Every word is click-to-edit before you export.

Can I get Odia captions on an English video?

Yes. Choose Odia under Captions in and the lines are translated, keeping the word-by-word timing of the original. The translation sends the transcript text, never the video, and you can switch it off with Keep everything on this device.

Are the Odia captions drawn in a proper font?

Yes. Odia words are drawn in Noto Sans Oriya, an open-source face made for Odia script, loaded from Burncaps itself.

Is there a watermark on the free videos?

Not on your first two: they are free with every feature and no mark of ours. After that you can keep going free, and each video carries a small burncaps.app mark in the top corner; Pro, $49 once, gives unlimited videos with no mark, never a subscription.

Does my video get uploaded?

No. The video never leaves your device. On a computer the speech model runs in your browser. On a phone, for a language other than English, or when you ask for a closer transcript, you can choose our speech service instead: then the sound goes to it in short pieces, never the picture, and nothing is kept. The transcript text leaves only for the 30 or 60 second cut, the name check or a translation, and a tick box keeps everything on your device.
