Step by step
- Open the app in Chrome or Safari on your phone and sign in with Google.
- Upload your reel (MP4 or MOV, straight from your gallery).
- Choose the script. Hindi writes Devanagari (क्या हाल है); Hinglish writes Roman letters (kya haal hai), the way most viewers read on Instagram.
- Pick a style. Word-by-word styles keep viewers watching.
- Fix any word with a tap, then export and post to Instagram.
Devanagari or Hinglish?
Most Instagram audiences read Hindi faster in Hinglish (Roman letters), because that is how they type it. Use Devanagari for devotional, literary or news content, or when your viewers read Hindi daily. Already have Hindi text? The free Hindi to Hinglish converter rewrites it in Roman letters.
Tips for Hindi captions that get read
- Keep English words in English (“video”, not “वीडियो”): Kool Captions does this for you.
- Put the captions in the middle of the screen, clear of Instagram's buttons at the bottom.
- Paste your script before transcribing for exact spelling of names and brands.
