Turkish captions
Add Turkish subtitles to a video on iPhone
Capster transcribes Turkish audio automatically — the language is detected, so there is nothing to choose — and exports the clip with the captions rendered into the frames. It is one of 99 languages the app handles, and the whole job runs on the phone in about two minutes.

What a Turkish caption looks like
Turkish uses four letters that plenty of display fonts skip, so "does this app actually render Turkish" is a fair question to ask before subscribing.

Which fonts render Turkish
Checked against every one of the 18 bundled caption fonts in September 2026, by reading each font's own character map rather than trusting its name.
Everything else in the style panel
Text size and colour, outline colour and width, letter case, background, word highlight, layout effect, animation and position all behave exactly as they do in English.
Three things to watch for in Turkish
- Three caption fonts miss the Turkish letters. ı, İ, ğ and ş are absent from Lilita One, Fredoka and Flying Bubble. iOS substitutes another face for just those letters, so the word renders but one or two characters visibly do not match the rest. Lilita One is the font behind the Yellow Desert preset, which is the style a new project opens with — worth knowing before you export.
- The dotted and dotless i are different letters. i and ı are distinct, and so are İ and I. Turning on the all-caps letter case control maps them the way the system does, which is not always the way Turkish does. Check a caption with an i in it before committing to all-caps.
- Agglutination makes long words. Turkish builds meaning by stacking suffixes, so single words get long. Those are the words that force a smaller font size or a wrap on a vertical clip.
How to do it
- 1
Import the clip
Pick a video from Photos. There is no account and nothing to set up, and no language to choose — Capster detects it from the audio.
- 2
Let the Turkish audio transcribe
The audio track is sent for transcription and comes back as Turkish text with word-level timing. The video itself is never uploaded.
- 3
Read the transcript before you style it
Tap any caption to fix a word. Machine transcription of Turkish is good, not perfect, and names are where it slips.
- 4
Pick a style
A style applies to every caption in the clip at once. 15 of the 18 caption fonts cover Turkish.
- 5
Export with the captions burned in
You get one finished video with the captions rendered into the frames, ready to post without switching anything on.
Questions people ask
Can I add Turkish subtitles to a video on my iPhone?
Yes. Capster transcribes Turkish automatically — you do not pick the language, it is detected from the audio — and exports the video with the captions burned into the frames. It is one of 99 languages the app handles, and the whole job happens on the phone.
Which caption fonts work with Turkish?
15 of the 18 caption fonts cover Turkish. Lilita One, Fredoka and Flying Bubble do not. Every other style control works the same as it does in English.
Do I have to choose Turkish before transcribing?
No. The language is detected from the audio, so there is no picker and nothing to get wrong. If a clip mixes two languages, the transcript follows what was actually said, which is usually what you want on short-form video.
Are Turkish captions burned into the video?
Yes. The captions are rendered into the frames rather than attached as a separate subtitle track, so every viewer sees them by default and nothing is lost when the platform re-encodes your upload. There is no SRT file, by design.
Can I try it free?
Yes. 5 transcriptions per install, clips up to 2 minutes, and 2 caption styles, and the export is never blocked — free exports carry a small Capster badge and a short end card instead.
