the caption craftsmen

We provide subtitling services for over 50 languages including Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, and many more. We cover all Indian languages. 

At the very least, the video. If you have a transcript, that is hugely helpful.

It depends on the length of your project. Discuss your project with us, and we shall be able to give you a realistic estimate of the turnaround time, within 24 hours.

Again, as with turnaround time, the cost depends on the project. The cost is usually on a per minute basis of the length of the material. Please touch base with us and help us understand what your requirements are - we shall give you the quote and TAT within 24 hours.

Feature films, Short Films, Corporate Videos, Documentaries - we can work on just about any AV material.

Subtitles are usually created by translating the language of the video to another. Closed Captions are in the same language as that of the video, but are designed to provide a more complete textual representation of all the audio content in a video, including speakers, sound effects, and other relevant information. 

Almost all that exist - including SRT. SCC, MCC, TTML, DFXP, XML, VTT, STL, or CAP. CCSL is usually given as a Word or PDF Doc.

You could, potentially, at least in case of Subtitles or Closed Captions - if quality is not as important. The quality of AI transcription even using the most advanced tools today still hovers around 70% - nowhere close to what a human interface does. We deliver at 99% accuracy, because we our team is populated with people who are native speakers of the language you seek.

In case of CCSL - there really is no AI tool that can do a complete job. 

Possibly the most genuine, and most important fear of all. Our servers are secure, the files given by you go to password protected cloud storage units, and we encourage you to give us your film by scenes rather than the whole version all at once. However, we do sign an NDA that if there is a leakage or damage of the asset when it is with us, we take responsibility. If your company has a preset legal contract covering this, we would be happy to take a look at that too.

It stands for 'Combined Continuity & Spotting List.' This includes a time-code for every camera shot, with a brief description of what ensues on screen. The 'Spotting' part of it includes all the audio as it would appear in closed captions. It is usually a pre-requisite for submitting content for broadcasting or for distribution.
