About Georgian transcription

Georgian (ქართული) is written in the Georgian script and spoken principally in Georgia. Subtitles generated here come back in that script, as ordinary written Georgian, ready to use in an SRT or VTT file.

Georgian uses an alphabet of its own with no capital letters at all, so a transcript with no capitalisation anywhere is correct rather than unformatted. It also allows long consonant clusters that look like errors to anyone who does not read the script.

What a Georgian subtitle file looks like

Four lines as they come out of the exported SRT, in the Georgian script with the timings taken from the speech itself.

1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,240
მადლობა ყველას მოსვლისთვის.

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,120
კარგად მისმენთ?

Line length in Georgian

Georgian builds meaning by stacking endings onto a stem, producing few words but long ones. Lines come out dense rather than wordy.

Shorter subtitle blocks read better as a result, and splitting one across two events costs nothing — the timings come from the speech either way.

Searching a Georgian transcript

Georgian is heavily inflected, so a term appears in a range of forms rather than repeating identically the way an English transcript would. That is correct output.

It does mean searching a transcript for a keyword will miss most of its occurrences unless you search for the stem — worth knowing before you use a transcript as an index.

Getting a better Georgian transcript

• Set the language to Georgian rather than leaving detection on, particularly for clips under a minute where there is little audio to judge from.
• Upload the highest-quality audio you have; compression artefacts cost more accuracy than most people expect.
• Check proper nouns, place names and numbers first — recognition errors concentrate there.
• Read the transcript before exporting. Georgian subtitles are editable up until you download them.

Georgian subtitles in another language

The same Georgian audio can produce subtitles in any of the 76 supported languages instead of in Georgian itself. English is the most common target, but every pair works, and the translated file keeps the original timings so it drops onto the same video unchanged.
