Developing AI-Powered Subtitles with Native RTL Nastaliq for FunkaarCaptions
Building a specialized in-browser subtitle and karaoke studio engineered specifically for South Asian creators and regional typography.
Background
About the Client
Short-form video creators in Pakistan and India struggled with existing tools like CapCut or VEED, which fail to render cursive Urdu Nastaliq correctly and impose expensive subscription paywalls.
Challenge
What They Faced
Standard web engines disconnect and invert right-to-left Nastaliq Arabic script characters
High compute costs typically associated with cloud-based video rendering and export
Complex bilingual code-switching between Urdu/Hindi spoken dialogue and English loanwords
Precise word-level timestamp alignment for viral karaoke caption animations
Strategy
Our Approach
Engineered an in-browser studio with custom Nastaliq font embedding (Jameel Noori Nastaleeq, Gulzar), Web Audio speech analysis, and localized canvas subtitle burners that export 1080p 60FPS MP4 files without watermarks.
Execution
How We Delivered
Created a zero-friction video studio supporting 15+ regional scripts (Urdu, Hindi, Punjabi Gurmukhi, Sindhi, Pashto, Bengali), preset styles (Dynamic Pop, Ali Abdaal, Minimalist), and multi-format subtitle exports (.SRT, .ASS, .VTT).
