What is AI subtitling and why it works

AI subtitling uses advanced speech recognition to automatically generate subtitles based on your audio. This saves hours of manual work and ensures consistent timing and structure. Subtitles increase accessibility (even without sound) and keep viewers engaged longer on platforms where videos play muted by default. Thanks to AI, you benefit from fast turnaround times, while our editors fine-tune the output in terms of language, tone of voice, and brand guidelines. Want to give spoken text extra impact? Combine subtitles with a voice-over. Prefer lightning-fast and scalable? Choose to have AI voice-overs created per channel and target group. Still unsure between captions and speech? First read what is an AI voice-over?

This is how we create automatic subtitles

First, you submit your video or audio file and select the target language. We transcribe and automatically generate subtitles, after which our editor checks the text for technical jargon, names, and punctuation. We then optimize timing and readability, tailor the style to your brand, and export the correct format. Would you like translations? We can create multilingual versions with checked context and terms. You will receive the files ready for YouTube, Vimeo, social media, or your own CMS. Handy for animations in multiple languages with consistent terminology. Are you working on instructional or onboarding content? Then consider having an AI explanation video made.

Accuracy, quality control, and styling

Accuracy starts with clear source material, which is why we apply noise reduction and normalization where necessary. Our hybrid workflow combines AI with manual quality control to ensure that technical terms, names, and figures are correct. We optimize for CPL (characters per line) and CPS (characters per second) for easy readability and onboarding in any language. Timecodes are refined at the sentence and breathing level, with extra attention to ambient noise, overlapping speakers, and silences.

In terms of styling, we keep subtitles consistent with your brand. Think font, color, background, position, and safe margin for social crops. We create variants for each channel, such as white-on-black for TikTok or subtle branded captions for LinkedIn. Want maximum impact? We also provide hardcoded subtitles with motion highlights for keywords, so your video immediately grabs attention even without sound.

File formats and delivery

You can choose between open captions (hardcoded) or closed captions (separate subtitle file). We provide SRT and VTT files as standard, but TXT or CSV files are also possible for transcripts. For platforms such as YouTube and Vimeo, use SRT or VTT; for social media, we often provide a hardcoded MP4 that displays well everywhere. We provide one file per language and, if desired, a multilingual zip file with clear file names and version numbers. Want to know more about AI applications in video? Read what AI animation is.

Languages and translation

We support Dutch, English, German, French, Spanish, and many other languages. Translation is AI-driven with editorial review by a native or near-native editor when the context is complex. This ensures that brand terms, tone, and cultural nuances are preserved. We deliver multilingual projects with separate SRT/VTT files per language or as multiple hardcoded variants for different channels. This is useful for international campaigns or e-learning with regional variants. Would you like to roll out an animated video in multiple languages? We ensure the right tone and terminology for each market.

Where AI subtitling makes the difference

On channels with autoplay without sound (Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn), subtitles ensure longer viewing times and more clicks. This is especially true for animations for social media ads, where captions make all the difference in performance. In e-learning and internal communication, subtitles make content accessible to foreign-language teams and colleagues with hearing loss. On YouTube, they improve findability through transcription and keywords. For webinars, podcasts, and event videos, subtitles offer a quick summary, better scanability, and a professional look in any format. Are you working on a complete AI-driven production?
