Subtitraatioiden

Subtitraatioiden, also known as subtitling, is the process of adding text to a video or film to convey dialogue, sound effects, or other important information. This text is typically displayed at the bottom of the screen and is synchronized with the audio content. Subtitling is widely used to make content accessible to audiences with hearing impairments, as well as to those who are learning a new language.

The process of subtitling involves several steps. First, the audio content is transcribed, meaning it is converted into written text. This transcription is then translated into the target language if necessary. The translated text is then time-coded, which means it is synchronized with the audio content. This involves determining the exact moments when each piece of text should appear and disappear on the screen. Finally, the subtitles are formatted and styled according to the production's guidelines.

Subtitling can be done manually or using automated software. Manual subtitling is time-consuming and requires a high level of skill, but it often results in more accurate and natural-looking subtitles. Automated subtitling, on the other hand, is faster and less expensive, but it may not always be as accurate or natural-sounding. Regardless of the method used, subtitling plays a crucial role in making content accessible and enjoyable for a wide range of audiences.
