How Gujarati script looks on screen

Gujarati script is related to Devanagari but has no headline, so its words look lighter and each letter stands on its own. Without that line tying a word together, the spaces between words do more of the work, so a very tight, heavy template can look more cramped in Gujarati than it does in Hindi.

In the width table Captik fits every line with, measured in Chrome on the caption fonts, one Gujarati letter takes 0.74 em against 0.59 em for a Latin one. The sample line on this page comes out at 0.80 of the width as the same line in Roman letters.

Fonts that really draw it

Noto Sans Gujarati is the default. The Text tab also lists 11: Google Sans, Baloo Bhai 2, Kumar One, Shrikhand, Mogra, Hind Vadodara, Mukta Vaani, Anek Gujarati, Noto Serif Gujarati, Rasa, Farsan.

Three ways to write it

  • Native Script

    ચાલો આજે ઘરે ઢોકળા બનાવીએ

    Gujarati script. English words you say are written in Gujarati script as well, so the caption reads in one script.

  • Romanised (Latin)

    Chalo aaje ghare dhokla banaviye

    Gujarati in Roman letters, with English words left in English. Useful when your viewers come from across India.

  • English Translation

    Let’s make dhokla at home today

    An English translation of each sentence, timed to when you said it.

Worth knowing for Gujarati

  • Watch word spacing, not just line width

    With no headline to mark where a word ends, the space between words carries the reading. If two words look joined, a larger size or a less heavy font fixes it faster than a wider box.

  • Food, business and place names read well in Roman

    If your channel speaks to Gujaratis outside Gujarat, a Roman caption keeps names like dhokla recognisable for people who speak the language but do not read the script.

Templates that hold Gujarati

We drew this page’s sample line through the real caption engine in each template and kept the ones where nothing was cut and the words stayed a readable size. Handwritten and serif templates are built around Latin letters, so they look most like themselves in Roman captions.

In Gujarati script

  • Highlighted Word

    A plain white line with the spoken word picked out in a warm colour.

  • Captik Glow

    The key word lands in large glowing capitals under a small line of context.

  • Deep Glow

    Heavy capitals with a magenta neon glow.

  • Captik Word

    One clean row that builds as you speak, the current word brightest.

In Roman letters

  • Aura

    An editorial lockup: a large feature word, an italic serif and small words around it.

  • Journal

    Handwriting that arrives word by word, blurring into focus.

  • Interlock

    The emphasised word becomes a large italic serif, with the line fitted around it.

  • Captik Glow

    The key word lands in large glowing capitals under a small line of context.

How to caption a Gujarati video

  1. Step 1

    Upload and choose Gujarati

    Any common video format and any size. Captik times each word to your voice, usually in under a minute.

  2. Step 2

    Choose how to write it

    Native Script gives you Gujarati script. Romanised (Latin) spells it in Roman letters, and English Translation translates each sentence.

  3. Step 3

    Fix, place and export

    Correct any word, pick a template, turn on Safe area and drag the caption clear of what the app covers, then export. The render happens on our servers, so it works from a phone.

Cutting in Premiere Pro, After Effects or DaVinci Resolve? The plugin lists Gujarati and puts the captions on your timeline. Check where the caption sits with the safe zone checker.

Gujarati captions, answered

Why don’t Gujarati captions have a line on top like Hindi?

Because Gujarati script has no headline. Captik uses Noto Sans Gujarati, which is drawn for Gujarati, so the letters look the way Gujarati readers expect.

I switch between Gujarati and English. Which language do I choose?

Choose Gujarati. With Romanised (Latin) selected, the English words stay in English. With Native Script, Captik writes them in Gujarati script too.

Can I use a Gujarati font of my own?

Yes. The Text tab lists the Gujarati fonts below under its ગુજરાતી chip, and you can upload your own font file. A font without Gujarati letters leaves the Gujarati words in Noto Sans Gujarati.

Does Gujarati work in the Premiere Pro, After Effects and Resolve plugin?

Yes. Gujarati is on the plugin panel’s language list, with native, Roman and English options.
