Subtitling Companies

Choosing a subtitling company is the choice between subtitle suppliers, which is really a choice about who translates and who reviews. The work goes to subtitlers who do this particular job every day, not to a general pool, and each file is checked against the source by a second reviewer before it is sent. This site is built around caption files built to the standard the platform or the regulator requires.

Ask whether a native speaker of the target language reviews on screen, or only in a subtitle editor. None of that is left to chance on the day: it is confirmed at quoting stage. Reading speed, line length and line breaks are set to the target standard before the first file is timed.

A supplier should name the style guide it works to, and show how it handles songs and on-screen text. Nothing there is an upgrade, and work that falls outside the agreed choosing a subtitling company brief is priced separately and only once you have agreed to it. The same timed file can produce a burned-in version and a sidecar caption file in one order.

Yes. Choosing a subtitling company is available in 100+ languages, with every file going to a native speaker of the target language and a reviewer who also reads it. A translated caption track is timed separately, because reading speed differs between languages. Where a language is rare, availability is checked before the quote.

Subtitling starts at $11.20 per minute of runtime. The rate follows the runtime of the video, not the number of caption lines the finished file contains. Choosing a subtitling company is quoted from the material you send, so a short job and a long one are worked out the same way. Nothing starts before you approve that figure in writing, and the invoice matches it exactly.

The delivery date is agreed before work starts, and rush delivery within 2 to 24 hours covers anything urgent. Material sent at the end of your working day is in progress overnight. Timing is set by hand against the audio, so the schedule follows the real runtime of the video and not an estimate. Choosing a subtitling company is scheduled against the people who actually do this work, not against a general pool.

The 99+% accuracy standard comes from human work plus an independent check: one subtitler produces the file, and then a second reviewer plays the file back against the picture. What gets checked on choosing a subtitling company is the detail a viewer would otherwise have to verify alone: names, figures, terms and anything the source left ambiguous. That second pass is what catches a caption a second out of sync or a line left running across a cut.

Yes. NDAs cover every person on the project, uploads and deliveries are encrypted, and nobody outside the assigned team can open your material. Unreleased video is routine here, so review links are restricted and nothing is held longer than the project needs. Choosing a subtitling company often involves material people would not want circulated, so the file is closed to everyone except the pair working on it.

SRT or VTT for web and streaming, SCC or STL for broadcast, or burned in where a platform strips subtitle files. The format for choosing a subtitling company is agreed at order stage, so the first delivery is the one you can file, send on or publish. The target format is confirmed before work starts, because retiming afterwards costs more than getting the specification right first.

Upload or share a link, and the quote follows within minutes. Say where the captions will play - broadcast, a streaming platform, a learning system, social - because each sets its own standard. Say what the choosing a subtitling company is for when you send it, because a filing, a publication and an internal record are formatted differently. A style note or template sent with the files is applied from the first delivery.
