Subtitling
The brief

Subtitles are translation under constraint. Reading speed, line length, and timing all matter. Our subtitlers are linguists trained on broadcast-standard tooling who deliver subtitles that read naturally, sync to the frame, and meet platform specs, whether your target is Netflix, YouTube, a corporate LMS, or a cinema release.

Subtitle translation and spotting

Subtitles are translation under constraint. Reading speed, line length and timing all matter. Our subtitlers translate the dialogue, spot each subtitle to the picture and break lines so they read naturally. Each file then goes through subtitle QC according to your project requirements.

Closed captions and SDH

We produce open and closed captions, and SDH subtitles for deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers. SDH also describes relevant sounds, not only dialogue.

Burnt-in and multilingual subtitle tracks

Subtitles can be delivered as separate files or burnt into the video. One video can carry several languages as multilingual subtitle tracks.

Formats

We deliver timed files in SRT, VTT, TTML or STL, or another format you specify, for streaming platforms, YouTube, corporate learning systems or cinema release.

Frequently asked questions

  • Which subtitle formats do you deliver? SRT, VTT, TTML and STL, or another agreed format.
