What is Subtitling?
Subtitling is the process of converting spoken dialogue into written text, usually displayed at the bottom of the screen. It involves listening, transcribing, and often translating spoken content to make videos accessible to global audiences. Subtitles improve engagement, reach, and comprehension especially across language and hearing barriers.

 Types of Subtitles

Understanding the different types of subtitles helps you choose the right fit for your project:

  • Open Captions

These subtitles are permanently embedded (burned-in) into your video. Viewers cannot turn them off. They’re often used in social media videos or public content where accessibility is essential.

  • Closed Captions

These can be turned on or off by the viewer. Common on platforms like Netflix, YouTube, or DVDs, they often include spoken words as well as non-verbal sounds like [applause] or [laughter].

  • SDH (Subtitles for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing)

These subtitles are tailored for deaf or hard-of-hearing viewers. They include speaker identification, ambient sounds, and tone indicators like “soft music playing” or “angry shouting” to enhance comprehension.

Why Subtitling Matters

Subtitles make your videos accessible to a wider audience. They:

  • Translate speech into different languages

  • Improve watch time and engagement

  • Boost search engine visibility (SEO)

  • Make content viewable without sound

  • Comply with accessibility regulations

Subtitles have helped platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime reach global audiences by offering content in multiple languages.

Choosing the Right Subtitling Company

Looking to hire a subtitling expert? Here’s what to consider:

Search Online

Start by searching terms like “subtitling services” or “professional subtitle company.” Review client testimonials and completed projects.

Large-Scale Projects

If you’re working on complex audiovisual content, hire professionals who understand timing, formatting, and readability rules. Good subtitling includes limits on characters per line, lines per frame, and display duration.

Multilingual Needs

For videos targeting international audiences, choose a company with native-speaking translators. This ensures accurate cultural references and compliance with non-Latin scripts like Arabic or Chinese.
