Twi Captioning Services – Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work with Twi (Akan) captioning?
Yes. Captioning in Twi (Akan) - a language of southern and central Ghana, the most widely spoken language there - is routine here, not something arranged specially when it comes up. The text is delivered in Latin script with ɛ and ɔ, and tone usually unmarked, produced by a native speaker and checked by a second one before it reaches you.
How is the Twi (Akan) text written out?
In Latin script with ɛ and ɔ, and tone usually unmarked, as a reader of Twi (Akan) 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.
How do I know the caption file is right?
The 99+% accuracy standard comes from human work plus an independent check: one captioner produces the file, and then a second reviewer plays the file back against the picture. Every file is played back on screen before release, because a caption that reads correctly can still land on the wrong shot. The reviewer on each Twi (Akan) 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. That second pass is what catches a caption that lands late or a speaker change that is never marked.
How do you protect Twi (Akan) files?
It is handled by restricting access, not by promising discretion. Twi (Akan) files often carry names, addresses and case references, so access stays with the assigned captioner and the reviewer. Everyone on the job is under NDA, transfer is encrypted, and your own confidentiality agreement is signed before work starts if you have one.
Which file formats can I get back?
SRT or VTT for web and streaming, SCC or STL for broadcast, or burned in where a platform strips subtitle files. The Twi (Akan) text itself is written in Latin script with ɛ and ɔ, and tone usually unmarked. The target format is confirmed before work starts, because retiming afterwards costs more than getting the specification right first.
What do you need from me to start?
Upload the material, approve the written quote and deadline, and work begins - no deposit, no account to set up. Say which Twi (Akan) variety the speakers use when you send the files, because that is what decides who the job goes to. Anything ambiguous is queried with you before work starts.
Can I get an English version as well?
Yes. The Twi (Akan) captioning 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.
Do you need notice before starting Twi (Akan) work?
Twi (Akan) has a smaller pool of qualified captioners than the major languages, so availability is confirmed before you pay and not promised then rescheduled. Most requests are placed within hours; where the wait would be longer, you are told at quoting stage. A single short video is a normal order here, including a trailer or a social cut.
How much does Twi (Akan) captioning cost?
Captioning is quoted per minute of runtime. What moves the figure is the runtime, whether the audio has to be timed from scratch and the caption standard you publish to, so the quote is built from your actual files and not from a rate card. Twi (Akan) sits outside the commonly requested languages, so availability is confirmed before the quote is issued and not after you have paid. The rate follows the runtime of the video, not the number of caption lines the finished file contains. You get an exact total in writing before anything starts.
What is the turnaround on Twi (Akan) captioning?
You are given a date, not a range: rush delivery within 2 to 24 hours where it is urgent, and a firm delivery time in the quote where it is not. Twi (Akan) 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.
