From Urdu speech to an English subtitle file.
Use the final cut of your recording. MP4, MOV and MP3 are supported. An audio-only file works too: Caption uses the sound, not the pictures.

Follow the thought across subtitle lines.
A speaker can introduce a person or idea several lines before referring to it again. Baian supplies nearby lines as context when translating a passage, so the English is not based on an isolated subtitle alone.
For a scholarly lecture, check whether the speaker is making a point, quoting someone else or rejecting an opinion. Names, religious terms and a small word such as “not” can change what the audience understands.
Check any Arabic quotations in an Urdu recording separately. Automatic Qur’an matching is not enabled when the recording is explicitly set to Urdu; it should not replace checking the quotation and its reference.
How to review a scholarly lectureUrdu transcription and English translation are different tests.
Baian’s published Urdu speech-recognition test reports a 13.2% word error rate on FLEURS recordings. Baian ran its own test on the dataset used in the published comparison.
That result measures the Urdu transcript, not the accuracy of the English translation. The separate FLoRes comparison starts with English speech and includes Urdu as an output language; it does not establish Urdu-to-English quality.
Review the English with the recording.
Open the completed job in Review, switch to Edit, then select Save Changes after correcting the wording. For material where a precise distinction matters, use a reviewer who understands Urdu and English.
Check names, numbers, quotations and passages where the speaker changes language. Keep recurring names and specialist terms consistent across the recording.
Download the English SRT and add it to YouTube or your video editor. It does not add an English voice or permanently place words into the video. Wording edits keep the existing timings; adjust those in your editor if needed.
Common questions.
Can Baian make English subtitles from Urdu audio?
Yes. Start with an Urdu audio or video recording, choose English subtitles, then review and download the English SRT file. MP4, MOV and MP3 are supported.
Can I paste a YouTube link or upload an existing SRT?
This workflow starts with an audio or video file, not an existing SRT. YouTube page links are not supported. Upload a recording you own or have permission to process, or use a public link directly to a media file.
Does the Urdu accuracy result measure the English translation?
No. The published Urdu result measures speech recognition: how the Urdu speech was transcribed. It is not a score for the finished English subtitles. The separate FLoRes translation comparison starts with English, not Urdu.
Will Qur’an quotations in an Urdu lecture be matched automatically?
Do not rely on automatic Qur’an matching for a recording explicitly set to Urdu. The matching step is enabled for Arabic input, or Arabic-script text reached through automatic language detection. Check quotations and references with a reviewer who understands the source.
Can I correct the English before downloading?
Yes. Open Review, switch to Edit, correct the wording and select Save Changes. The wording changes keep each subtitle’s start and end times. Use your video editor for timing changes, then check the exported subtitles alongside the recording.
