Success story
The training video nobody finished
A pharma company’s 47-minute safety video had a problem. English teams finished it. European teams didn’t.
The issue: machine-generated subtitles that read like instruction manuals. Employees couldn’t follow critical visual demonstrations while decoding awkward text.
We rewrote every subtitle, made the technical terms readable, and fixed the timing so people could actually watch and read at the same time.
European teams started watching it to the end and completing the training properly, following the demonstrations instead of falling behind the text. The client could finally count the training as delivered across all its European sites.
Sometimes the words on screen matter as much as the action.
Subtitles decide who can actually watch your content.
Every story deserves to be understood. Let’s make sure yours reaches every intended audience.

Frequently Asked Questions
ferme tout
How do subtitle timing constraints affect translation quality?
Subtitles have strict character limits and display duration requirements that can mean compromises have to be made on translation. We solve this by prioritizing meaning over literal translation, condensing text while preserving essential information, and using timing strategies that give viewers adequate reading time without disrupting video flow.
Can you work with existing video content, or do you need special files?
We work with your existing video files in most formats. We can create subtitles from scratch using your video and script, work with existing time-coded transcripts, or adapt subtitle files you already have. Our goal is to work with whatever assets you have available.
Can you handle technical or specialized content in subtitles?
Absolutely. We specialize in regulated and technical content that requires precision: medical device training, safety procedures, product demonstrations, and compliance videos. We keep technical accuracy while maintaining subtitle readability and timing requirements.
What’s the difference between subtitles for different viewing contexts?
Conference presentations need larger text and slower timing for room viewing. Mobile content requires concise phrasing for small screens. E-learning videos call for subtitles that complement on-screen information. We optimize your subtitles’ style and timing for your specific viewing context and audience needs.
