One key advantage of subtitling over voiceovers is the lower production cost, as no voice talents, audio studio or recording engineer are required. Furthermore, our subtitling services are a great way to offer translated video content online and in a variety of language options through popular video sharing platforms like YouTube and Vimeo.

Market leading subtitling technology

Our subtitling technology supports video captioning with automated features to enable quick, flexible and quality subtitles or captions for targeted international audiences.

Workflow automation & AI

Workflow automations are imbedded in our technology to simplify localisation processes and accelerate turnaround times. Automations present a cost-effective solution with associated enhancements in readability and understanding of subtitles. AI further expedites the subtitling process via speech recognition and speech-to-text.

Video Platform Integrations

API integrations instantly wipe out manual processes with the ability to automatically retrieve data from supported video platforms. Automating this process enhances productivity and eliminates the need to transfer video files.

Uses & limitations of subtitles

Subtitles are typically kept to a maximum of two lines’ length and appear on the screen in synch with the audio and long enough for the viewer to be able to read them whilst they still take in the picture.

For a positive viewing experience, translations have to be kept concise to suit the audience’s reading speed. Subtitle services are particularly suited for videos that don’t already have a lot of text in the picture; otherwise, the video could become too text-heavy and the provided information too much for the viewer to process. In that case, we recommend using dubbing as an alternative. Check out our dubbing & voice-over services.

Subtitles formats

We can provide you with separate subtitle files that you can upload into your video platform so that viewers can turn them on or off or deliver you with the final video file(s) with burnt in or "hard-coded" subtitles which are always in view on the screen, these cannot be turned off.

  • SRT, WebVTT, PAC, STL...
  • Burnt in or hard-coded

Captioning service

We provide same language subtitles or more commonly called closed captions. These are ideal for social media videos often viewed in noisy environments.

Our close captioning service is also suitable for videos aimed at the hard of hearing of deaf audiences.
