AI-generated subtitles can speed up production but often struggle with accents, technical terminology, speaker identification, and contextual meaning. Our professional human subtitlers review every subtitle to ensure accuracy, readability, and natural language flow for public-facing content.
| Method | Typical Accuracy | Cultural Context | Turnaround | Starting Price | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pure AI / Machine | 85–90% | Limited: literal output; misses idioms, humor, and tone | Minutes | Lower upfront cost, typically $0.10–$0.50/min (varies by provider) | Internal drafts, rough cuts, clear single-speaker audio |
| Professional human subtitling | 99%+ with human review | Native-reviewed: idioms, humor, and references localized | 1–2 business days (videos up to 10 min); 2–3 days (10–30 min) | From $1.00/min (English, script provided); subtitle translation from $11.20/min | Public-facing, multilingual, legal, medical, educational, broadcast, multi-speaker, accented or noisy audio |
AI-generated subtitles can be useful for rough internal drafts with clear, single-speaker audio. Choose professional human subtitling when your video will be published, translated, used for accessibility, or contains multiple speakers, accents, technical terminology, names, or cultural references. Human review improves timing, readability, contextual accuracy, and platform readiness.

Location: New York, USA
File Type & Duration: Video files; 50 hours of video content
The primary goal of the project was to provide high-quality subtitles for a series of videos in English, translating them accurately into Spanish for an international audience. The client aimed to ensure that the subtitled videos maintained the original tone, humor, and context while being culturally relevant to Spanish-speaking viewers across various regions.
Cultural Adaptation: Ensuring that humor, idiomatic expressions, and cultural references were translated in a way that resonated with the Spanish-speaking audience. Tight Deadlines: The client required the subtitling of a large volume of video content within a short timeframe of 6 weeks. Maintaining Synchronization: Ensuring that subtitles were perfectly synchronized with the video, while maintaining clarity and readability. High Volume of Content: Managing the substantial amount of video material (50 hours) and coordinating the work between the translation team and video editors to meet deadlines.Speakers: Native English speakers in various dialects of American English
Languages: English (source language), Spanish (target language)
The project was completed and delivered within 6 weeks.
To address the client's needs, we began by conducting an in-depth consultation to understand the cultural and technical requirements. A dedicated team of bilingual experts was assembled, specializing in both English and Spanish, to ensure accurate translations. We followed a structured workflow:
Transcription of the English dialogueTranslation into Spanish, with careful attention to cultural context and idiomatic expressionsSubtitling and synchronization of the translated text with the video contentQuality control to ensure accuracy and readability across all materialsBy using a phased delivery approach, we were able to manage the high volume of content and ensure timely delivery.
The client successfully launched the subtitled videos, which received excellent feedback from the Spanish-speaking audience.Engagement with the videos increased due to the culturally relevant and high-quality subtitles.The client was able to expand their global reach and strengthen relationships with their international viewers.The project was delivered on time, within budget, and with the expected level of quality."The subtitling services provided were outstanding. The translations were not only accurate but also culturally appropriate. The project was delivered on time, and the quality exceeded our expectations." — Project Manager, Entertainment Industry
Yes. We subtitle for NYC's production companies, agencies, and filmmakers, with our office at 224 West 35th St in Midtown. Local familiarity is practical, not decorative - we already know the formats and preferences the receiving offices here expect. Everything is confirmed in writing before work begins.
Yes. Festival-ready subtitles are delivered to submission specs for Tribeca and other screenings, on festival deadlines. Bring the receiving office's instructions if you have them, and the translation is prepared to that exact requirement rather than a generic standard. Support is available around the clock if anything needs adjusting.
Subtitling starts at $11.20 per minute of video, with bulk discounts for series and catalogs. Students, NGOs, and bulk orders qualify for discounts, and multi-language orders from a single master are quoted together so you see the full cost upfront.
Short videos deliver in as little as 2-24 hours, with schedules built around your post timeline. Support is available around the clock if anything needs adjusting. If any detail is unclear, we ask before proceeding rather than assume. Everything is confirmed in writing before work begins.
Spanish, French, Chinese, and Arabic lead, with 100+ languages available from one master. One master yields every language version, timed once and translated many times. If any detail is unclear, we ask before proceeding rather than assume. Everything is confirmed in writing before work begins.
Yes. Files follow platform timed-text style guides, including Netflix requirements, for delivery-ready QC. Following the guide isn't cosmetic - files that break line-length or duration limits fail platform QC - so subtitles are built to spec from the first pass.
SRT, VTT, STL, SCC, and burned-in subtitles, exported from one timed master. Files are encoded in UTF-8 so special characters render correctly across players, and several formats can be exported from one timed master. Everything is confirmed in writing before work begins.

Yes. SDH subtitles and closed captions are produced from the same master for accessibility deliverables. Speaker labels and cues like [door slams] or [tense music] let viewers follow who's speaking and what's happening beyond the dialogue - and many platforms and festivals now require an SDH track.
Upload your video or share a screener link, and we confirm price and delivery around your post schedule. Quotes typically return within the hour, so cost and timing are known before you commit anything. Support is available around the clock if anything needs adjusting.
