Entertainment and Media - Subtitle Creation

It has been reported that social video content can lead to 12 times more shares than text and image content combined. Subtitle captions are particularly important for social video because as well as helping to communicate the message and making it more accessible, social media users often browse with the volume on their devices on silent.

 

Creating subtitle captions is a labor-intensive task. Further challenges arise if the text is required in multiple languages. Automation is required to realize efficiencies for social video content creators.

Creating efficiencies for content creators via automatic subtitle creation for social video.

Automatic Speech Transcription services have reached high levels of accuracy. Coupled with Machine Translation technology they can be applied to generate subtitle captions that typically require some level of human post editing.

 

Automatic Subtitle Generators, such as Media.io, combine the technologies mentioned above to offer subtitle creation as an online service. Users simply upload their video content to the platform and pay via a monthly subscription. Pricing is based on a freemium model where video export length, transcription time and output text characters are limited at different tiered pricing levels.

 

Transcription quality can vary often depending on the video quality and language / dialect variations.
