VIDEO SUBTITLE

The video subtitling service corresponds to the insertion of the video in text form, usually at the bottom of the screen, synchronized with the dialogues or narration of the audiovisual content (film, program, interview, etc.) in its original version. The subtitles can be in the same language as the original audio (transcribed content) or in another language (transcribed and later translated content).

What is the purpose of inserting subtitles in a video?

The caption allows people to perfectly understand the message conveyed in the video. It is aimed at people who:

• Do not understand the language of the original audio
• Have hearing impairment
• They prefer to read the subtitles in the source language, facilitating the understanding exposed by the audio and the image
• They are also used in places where silence is required (hospitals, libraries, etc.) or in places with a lot of noise.

Video subtitling fulfills an extremely important function, which is to allow access to information and bring certain content closer to people who, otherwise, might not understand the content present in the audiovisual archive.

Features of the professional subtitling service:

• Before a video can be subtitled, it must be transcribed. Inserting subtitles in another language, in addition to transcription, also requires prior translation of the content. At NearU, we offer all these services, delivering your perfectly subtitled video in the language of your choice
• It is a service that requires knowledge and use of different technical resources and that is carried out by native translators and technicians specialized in this field.
