Subtitling, dubbing, and voiceover services that keep every viewer watching

Subtitles translate the dialogue for viewers who can hear the audio but don’t speak the language. Closed captions are for deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers: they include dialogue plus speaker identification and important sounds such as music or a door slamming. SDH, subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing, carry the same information as captions in a subtitle format, which is common on streaming platforms. We produce all three, and many organizations need more than one.

In voiceover, a new voice in the viewer’s language is recorded over the original, which is lowered but still faintly audible, or the video is narrated entirely in the new language. It is ideal for training, e-learning, and corporate video. In lip-sync dubbing, the original dialogue is fully replaced and the translated lines are adapted to match the speakers’ lip movements, so the video feels as if it were made in the viewer’s language. Dubbing takes more script adaptation and studio time, so it costs more.

Choose subtitles when you need many languages quickly and cost-effectively, when viewers often watch without sound, or when accessibility is the main goal. Choose voiceover when viewers need to focus on the screen, such as in software training or safety instruction. Choose lip-sync dubbing for brand films and on-camera content where the experience must feel native. Many projects combine formats, and we recommend one after reviewing your videos and audience.

Subtitling is usually priced per minute of video. Voiceover and dubbing depend on the script length, the number of voices, studio time, and how the recordings will be used. Other factors include the number of languages, whether a transcript or script already exists, on-screen text, and your delivery specifications. Send us the videos or a sample, and we will give you a firm quote before work begins.

Timing depends on runtime, the number of languages, whether a script exists, the number of speakers, and how many rounds of voice approval you need. Subtitling is the fastest format; dubbing takes the longest because of casting, recording, and mixing. We confirm a delivery schedule in your quote and can stagger languages or deliver in batches for large libraries.

It depends on where the video will play. SRT works on most players and social platforms, WebVTT is standard for web and HTML5 players, SCC is common for U.S. broadcast captions, and TTML or DFXP is used by many streaming platforms. Subtitles can also be burned into the picture when a platform cannot display caption files. Tell us your platforms and we will deliver the right files.

Yes. We share auditions from native voice talent who match your brief for language variety, gender, age, and tone, and you approve the voices before recording begins. For series and training programs, we keep the same voices across every module so your content sounds consistent.

For high-volume internal content such as training updates, AI-assisted voice can reduce cost and turnaround. Our linguists review every line for accuracy, pronunciation, and tone, and we use only voices licensed for the purpose. For customer-facing, emotional, or brand-critical video, we recommend human voice talent. We will tell you which approach fits each piece of content.

Accurate, synchronized captions are a core requirement for accessible video under WCAG, which Section 508 and the ADA rules for public entities reference. Accessibility also depends on how the video is published, such as whether the player displays captions, and some content also needs audio description for blind and low-vision viewers. We produce captions and SDH to support your obligations; confirm your specific requirements with your accessibility or legal team.

Video is handled under our ISO/IEC 27001 certified information security management system. Files move through secure transfer, access is limited to the linguists, voice talent, and engineers assigned to your project, and everyone involved works under confidentiality agreements. We retain or delete files according to your instructions.
