4. SUBTITLING PROCESS
The subtitling process involves several steps to ensure accurate and synchronized
subtitles for audiovisual content. Here is a general overview of the subtitling
process:
Transcription:
1.
The process begins with transcribing the spoken dialogue in the video or audio content. This
involves converting spoken words into a written text, capturing all the dialogue, including
any relevant sounds or non-verbal communication.
Time Coding:
2.
Each line of the transcript is then time-coded to match the corresponding moment in the
video. This synchronization ensures that subtitles appear on-screen at the right time,
aligning with the audio.
Translation (if applicable):
3.
If the content is in a language other than the target audience's language, the transcript is
translated. The translator must not only convert the words but also consider cultural
nuances and ensure the translation fits within the character limit per subtitle frame.
Subtitle Creation:
4.
Using specialized subtitling software, the timed transcript is formatted into subtitle frames.
Each subtitle frame has a set character limit and is synchronized to appear and disappear
on-screen at the correct times. The visual appearance, such as font type, size, and color, is
also determined during this stage.
