Subtitling

Professional subtitling services for business videos. In English and other languages.

A training video made for staff in one country may also need to reach colleagues abroad. We prepare subtitles for training, marketing, presentations and recorded evidence, including subtitles translated into another language.

Languages

Subtitles in the original language or translated.

You can add subtitles in the language spoken or make the video accessible to viewers who speak another language.

For an English training video, we can prepare English subtitles. If the same video is going to a team in France, we can prepare French subtitles from the English recording.

The words need to fit the time available on screen and remain easy to follow. We can shorten spoken phrasing where necessary while keeping the meaning, particularly when translating into a language that takes more words to express the same point.

For a video with specialist terminology, such as safety instructions or technical training, we can work from your approved terms and existing materials.

We also prepare voice-over scripts when you want the spoken content recorded in another language.

Transcripts, subtitles and translated scripts.

Different video projects call for different written material.

A transcript records what was said in the video. Subtitles are written to appear at the appropriate points during playback. A voice-over script is written for someone to read aloud.

If you need a written record of an interview or recorded hearing, see our transcription services. We can prepare a transcript in the original language or translate it.

For a marketing film that is part of a wider international campaign, we can also adapt the accompanying landing pages and product copy through our website localisation services.

For video evidence, tell us who will use the subtitles and whether the receiving court or organisation has specified a format.

Questions

Common questions.

Common questions
QuestionAnswer
Can you translate subtitles into another language?Yes. We can translate the spoken content of a video and prepare subtitles in another language. The translation is written for on-screen reading, taking account of the available time and the meaning of the original speech. Tell us which languages you need when requesting a quote.
Do I need to provide a transcript?No. We can work from the video recording and prepare the text needed for subtitling. If you already have a transcript, it can help with names, specialist terminology and passages that are difficult to hear.
What format will the subtitles be delivered in?We agree the delivery format before starting. Tell us whether your video editor or publishing platform needs a separate subtitle file or another format. We can discuss the requirements when preparing your quote.
Can you prepare a voice-over script instead of subtitles?Yes. We can translate and adapt spoken content into a script for recording in another language. Tell us the video's intended audience and whether the script needs to follow the timing of the original recording.
How much does subtitling cost?The price depends on the video's length, the languages, the quality of the recording and whether transcription or translation is needed. We provide a fixed price and delivery date within two hours during UK business hours, so you know the cost before work begins.
