FAQs

Sanskrit captions: questions

Can Lumiox caption chanting and shlokas?

Yes. Clear chanting transcribes well, and each word is timed so it highlights as it's recited. Check long compound words in the editor, since that's where corrections are most often needed.

Can Sanskrit captions be shown in English letters for learners?

Yes. Switch to Roman script so viewers who don't read Devanagari can follow along.

Can I export Sanskrit subtitles?

Yes. Export the finished video as an MP4 with the Sanskrit captions burned in, or download an SRT or VTT file to upload to YouTube, Facebook or any editor that accepts subtitle files.
