Subtitling specialisations

Interlingual subtitling

Interlingual subtitling is an art in itself. Good subtitles require both professional translation skills and technical finesse. They need to be synced with the audio, placed around film cuts, stay within an accepted length, duration and reading speed in line with current norms and quality standards - and still convey the original meaning while also sounding absolutely natural in the target language. If you value proper quality, make sure you hire an educated professional.

Intralingual subtitling

Same-language subtitles are on by default on many people's devices, as they can contribute significantly to a positive viewing experience. They aid comprehension and prevent over- or misheard dialogue in busy environments. They help people with varied attention spans digest what they hear, making them a simple but effective accessibility tool. Subtitles are also proven to capture and retain viewers' attention, which is a huge advantage for video ads. Be it marketing or entertainment: Professional, well-timed and easily readable subtitles can make a real difference.
