Subtitle Services in Any Language and Format

The rise of over-the-top media and subscription services such as Netflix and Hulu necessitates a new approach to audiovisual accessibility. Succeed in any market, in any language, with Andovar’s captioning and subtitling service, including subtitles for the deaf and hard-of-hearing (SDH). This cost-effective, scalable alternative to dubbing will open new doors to your on-demand content around the world.

Text translations of spoken video content usually on 2 lines at the base of the screen, subtitles enable you to preserve your message while accounting for local and cultural differences.

    Typically in the same language as the audio track, captions make sure people with hearing impairments and those watching in noisy environments can understand all your audio content. Captions may include descriptions of sound effects, music, and character identification.

      SDH or 'Subtitles for the deaf or hard-of-hearing,',are ideal when launching content to an international audience with hearing impairments. SDH subtitles, much like captions, include descriptions of sound effects, music, and character identification.

                              Andovar provides subtitling services in over 200 language pairs. We have over 5,000 translators ready to make your content wow audiences around the world.

                                We use human and/or MT. Whichever model is used, all content is post-edited and QC'd by human professional translators. Andovar's view is that MT does not replace translators; rather, it helps them to be more efficient. We work with a state-of-the-art platform with built-in machine translation engines specifically trained for broadcast media content. In addition to automating the translation, our platform has terminology management tools, as well as inbuilt real-time QC checks that ensure reading speeds are respected, as well as flagging character and line limit violations.

                                  All files are encrypted and kept on secure servers. Translators and staff are all bound by NDAs and confidentiality agreements.

                                    We support all types of software formats including the most common formats (.xml, .xliff, .csv,.) json and many others.

                                      We rarely encounter complaints with translation quality. However, in case the translation does not meet your expectations, we provide free revisions within 30 days of delivery. Simply explain what the issues are along with some examples, and our translators will update the content and redeliver.
