Subtitling

Subtitles in Portuguese, English and Spanish for videos, courses and digital content, synchronized and proofread before delivery.

Typical Applications

Subtitles allow viewers to follow a video through synchronized text in Portuguese, English or Spanish. The pace of speech and the profile of the audience determine how each line is written, so the meaning comes across in text that fits the scene.

Content we subtitle:

  • Online courses and training
  • YouTube and social media videos
  • Corporate and commercial videos
  • Talks, webinars and interviews

Our Approach

Each project begins with a review of the content, the language pair and the platform where the video will be published. The dialogue is then translated, fitted to the time on screen and checked for timing and readability.

Subtitle Adaptation

Each subtitle is timed to the pace of the speech and to the time it remains on screen. The wording preserves the information and stays easy to read while the video plays.

Expressions, humor and cultural references are adapted to the target audience, so the subtitles read naturally and keep the speaker's intent and tone.

Timing and Readability

Each subtitle is condensed or adapted to match the speech and the time available for reading, within a limit of 17 characters per second. Select a line to see the decision behind it.

Project Workflow

Send the video or a link to it, with the language pair, the publishing platform and the deadline. The quote states the price and delivery date before you commit. Once the quote is approved and payment is confirmed, we translate the dialogue, synchronize the subtitles and review the text and timing.

Subtitles are delivered in SRT or in the format your platform requires, as confirmed in the quote.
