Marathi, not Hindi in Marathi spelling

“Aaj hum Pune la janar aahot”you said aapan

Marathi and Hindi share a script, and most caption tools took that as permission to share a model. So your audio gets routed through Hindi, "aapan" comes back as "hum", and the verb endings drift Hindi-ward until the joke lands on its Hindi cousin. Kalakar treats Marathi as its own language, trained on speech from Mumbai, Pune and across Maharashtra, so Marathi vocabulary comes back as Marathi.

Devanagari for home. Roman for the reel.

Devanagari is the script of Maharashtra's newspapers, film posters and schools, so it's the pick for political commentary, food, theatre and devotional clips. Roman Marathi suits fast comedy reels and younger viewers in Mumbai and Pune who type "kharach, ha episode bhari zhala". Both come from one transcription, so the script is a one-time choice at generation, not a re-edit.

When ळ becomes ल, fix that one word.

Hindi keyboards and Hindi-trained models don't have ळ, so बाळ becomes बाल and the eyelash-ra in कर्‍या gets flattened. Kalakar's Native output keeps the Marathi-only forms, and व्हिडिओ stays spelt the Marathi way rather than the Hindi one. Every word carries its own timing, so if one still slips, you tap that word and type. The line around it doesn't move.

Clean the take before it hears a syllable.

A comedy bit in a Pune cafe or a misal stall doesn't come with a quiet room, and that noise costs accuracy before the model hears a word. Turn on audio enhancement and the pass runs on cleaned audio. On clear audio Marathi transcribes at up to 97%, so cleaning a noisy take first is the cheapest way to get closer to that.

How to caption Marathi in Kalakar

Select Marathi, not Hindi, pick your script, generate. Mixed Marathi, Hindi and English in one clip is fine; it's transcribed in one pass with the Hindi and English words kept as you said them. Read the first three lines aloud, fix the odd word, pick a template, export.

Upload your video. Drag an MP4 or MOV into app.kalakar.io. Vertical 9:16 for Reels, Shorts and TikTok, or 16:9 for YouTube; both are supported.
Select Marathi as the spoken language. Pick Marathi from the language menu. Turn on audio enhancement first if the recording is noisy.
Choose Roman or Native script. Roman gives you Marathi in English letters. Native gives you Devanagari (Marathi variant). Timings are the same either way.
Edit, style and export. Fix any word in a tap, apply a caption template, then export a burned-in MP4, an SRT or VTT file, or an alpha-channel render for Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve.
