Professional Subtitling Services - Fast And Accurate

Yes. Swahili (Kiswahili) is spoken in Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda and the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Swahili (Kiswahili) subtitling is done by native speakers of the language, never by English-speaking staff working phonetically. The finished text is written in Latin script, so it stays searchable and quotable afterwards. The same timed file can produce a burned-in version and a sidecar caption file in one order.

Most often NGO and health field interviews, radio and media, education and legal recordings. Each type carries its own conventions - speaker labels for interviews, timestamps for legal material, clean formatting for anything published - and those are agreed before work starts. Most of the work here is for teams with an accessibility requirement to meet, not simply a preference.

Rush delivery within 2 to 24 hours is available, and the delivery time is confirmed in writing before you pay. Swahili (Kiswahili) material with heavy code-switching takes longer to work through than clean single-speaker source, and the date you are given reflects that. Timing is set by hand against the audio, so the schedule follows the real runtime of the video and not an estimate. If a deadline cannot be met you are told at quoting stage, not on the day.

The standard is 99+%, reached by doing the job twice: one person produces the file, and a second checks it before release. The reviewer on each Swahili (Kiswahili) file checks names and terms against the source instead of reading the text through, because this material is full of names nobody can guess at. Every file is played back on screen before release, because a caption that reads correctly can still land on the wrong shot.

Yes. Everyone who touches your material signs an NDA, transfer is encrypted, and access is limited to the people assigned to the job, usually one subtitler and one reviewer. Unreleased video is routine here, so review links are restricted and nothing is held longer than the project needs. Swahili (Kiswahili) files often carry names, addresses and case references, so access stays with the assigned subtitler and the reviewer. Your own agreement can be signed before the first file is sent.

Whichever the platform requires: SRT, VTT, SCC, STL or burned in. Caption files are delivered to the standard of the platform you publish on, whether that is SRT, VTT, SCC or STL. The Swahili (Kiswahili) text itself is written in Latin script. Several formats can come out of one order, so the same material reaches a streaming service, a broadcaster and a learning platform without being rebuilt.

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 which Swahili (Kiswahili) variety the speakers use when you send the files, because that is what decides who the job goes to. A style note or template sent with the files is applied from the first delivery.

In Latin script, as a reader of Swahili (Kiswahili) would expect to see it. The finished file is real text, not an image or a phonetic approximation, so your team can search it, paste from it and quote it. A translated caption track is timed separately, because reading speed differs between languages.

Yes. The Swahili (Kiswahili) subtitling is produced first, then a professional translator works from it, so you receive both files and can check one against the other. Audio and video translation is $7 per minute. Where a certified transcript has to accompany the caption file, that is priced per page.

Subtitling starts at $11.20 per minute of runtime. Swahili (Kiswahili) is requested often enough that work starts straight away instead of waiting for a specialist to come free. Nothing starts before you approve that figure in writing, and the invoice matches it exactly.
