What we can do
Transcription
Spoken content is converted into written text in the original language.
Transcription & translation
Audio or video is transcribed and the written content is translated into the required target language.
Subtitling
Subtitles are prepared and timed to match the video, with wording adapted for clear reading on screen.
Subtitle translation
Existing subtitles can be translated into additional languages while keeping the timing and technical structure required for the project.
Media translation
Scripts, captions, on-screen text and other language elements can be translated as part of the same multimedia project.
Subtitle review
Existing subtitles can be checked for language, terminology, timing and consistency.
Content
Media we work with
Training videos

Podcasts
Spoken content that needs transcription, translation or subtitles for additional markets.
Marketing & corporate video
Campaign, company and customer-facing video content.
Subtitling
Preparing subtitles for the screen
Good subtitles need to be easy to read while the video continues. The wording, timing and line breaks are therefore checked together.
Timing
Subtitles are placed at the appropriate points in the video so they follow the spoken content.
Reading length
Text may need to be shortened or rephrased so the viewer has enough time to read it.
Line breaks
Subtitle lines are divided in a way that keeps the sentence easy to follow.
Terminology
Product names, technical terms and approved company wording are kept consistent.
On-screen text
Text visible in the video can also be included in the translation scope where required.
Existing subtitle files
Existing subtitle files can be translated or reviewed while keeping their timing information.
How we work
From recording to final files
- 01
Project setup
We confirm the languages, media files, required output, deadline and any terminology or style instructions.
- 02
Transcription or source preparation
Spoken content is transcribed when a source transcript or subtitle file is not already available.
- 03
Translation & subtitling
The content is translated and, where required, prepared or fitted into subtitles.
- 04
Review & delivery
The language, terminology, timing and agreed technical details are checked before the final files are delivered.
AI-assisted transcription
AI transcription with human review
For suitable audio, speech-recognition tools can be used to create the first transcript. A linguist then reviews the text and corrects recognition errors, names, terminology and punctuation according to the agreed project requirements.
Clear recordings
Audio quality, background noise and the number of speakers can affect automatic transcription.
Names & terminology
Company names, product terms and specialist vocabulary often need human checking.
Human review
The transcript is checked against the recording to the level agreed for the project.
Further translation
Once approved, the transcript can be used as the source for translation or subtitling.
