Subtitling Services

Subtitles are written words or textual translations of dialogues in films, videos, or other media content. Subtitles help viewers read text on the screen for words spoken that they do not understand. Subtitling services make multimedia content understandable for a larger audience, primarily global viewers. Besides, subtitles help people with hearing disabilities, for example, those who are hard of hearing or deaf, to understand the context of the content. Similarly, non-native speakers or those who need help understanding the original language of the content can follow and understand the content without any difficulty. 

In many ways, subtitles enhance the viewing experience of viewers, especially those who have issues understanding the content’s original language. Thus, subtitles help bridge the language barriers and ensure that ideas and information are accessible to people of all languages. They offer creators the opportunity to access a wider audience. 

What is Subtitling?

Subtitling refers to the written or textual representation of the audio content of a video. The subtitled text appears on the video screen and usually consists of dialogues, sound cues, identification of the speaker, and more.

Types of subtitles

1. Open captions are subtitles that are permanently present and visible on the video. Viewers do not have the choice of turning off the subtitles. As an integral part of the video, these are always accessible to the audience. No unique settings or equipment is required to make any changes to these subtitles.
2.Closed captions are temporary and can be switched on or off per the viewer's choice.
3.Subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing (SDH) are special subtitles with dialogues and descriptions of background noises, non-verbal cues, and speaker differentiators. In this form of video subtitling services, every effort is undertaken to offer a holistic viewing experience to people with hearing disabilities.

Why Choose Subtitling?

Accessibility for diverse audiences

Subtitling is an excellent way for content creators to reach a global audience irrespective of linguistic or cultural differences. Moreover, subtitles help a diverse audience, including deaf people and people with hearing challenges, and non-native speakers can comprehend media content of varied languages and cultures.

Compliance with regulations and standards

In many countries, media content must contain subtitles as mandated by the law. It is primarily to make the content accessible for people with hearing impairments. Subtitling services ensure creators comply with such regulations and are not fined or penalized for non-compliance.

Enhanced user experience and engagement

Foreign language subtitling service helps enhance viewers' viewing experience as it adds a layer of comprehensibility for the audience. Thus, a higher level of engagement is possible with viewers as the content resonates with them.

Localization for global markets

Another benefit of Subtitling is that it helps marketing and content creators adapt to international consumption. This is possible as the dialogues or the spoken language in the films and videos is translated into the local language and dialect. This is called localization and is a crucial marketing strategy for brands, businesses, content creators, and individuals who intend to tap into the potential of global markets.
