Why this works for TikTok
TikTok captions need to be bold, easy to read at small phone sizes, and stylized to match the platform aesthetic. Most viral TikToks use yellow or cyan captions with a thick black outline.
Why Whisper handles Indonesian well
BurnSub uses OpenAI's Whisper-Turbo (Whisper code: id),
which has been trained on hundreds of thousands of hours of Indonesian speech.
Accuracy on clear-audio Indonesian content is typically 92–97%.

Frequently asked
Is auto-caption accurate for Indonesian?
Whisper-Turbo's accuracy on Indonesian audio is typically 92–97% for clear speech. Background noise, heavy accents, and slang reduce accuracy. Every caption line is editable before burning, so you can fix anything Whisper missed.
Does the TikTok algorithm reward burned captions?
Burned captions are read directly by viewers (the words appear on screen) — no AI-detection step required. TikTok typically rewards videos with on-screen text because watch-time goes up. Burned subs typically out-perform soft subs on sound-off feeds.
Can I use Indonesian subs on a video that's spoken in another language?
Yes — generate the original-language transcript first, then use a translation tool to render it in Indonesian, paste the translated SRT back in BurnSub, and burn. Native translation is on the roadmap.
