Captioning Star specialises in subtitling services offering it in 20+ languages. We maintain a high level of translation accuracy, whether its for English to Mandarin translation services or vice-versa, or for other multi- languages for which services are provided.

We use dependable human resources for translations, choosing them over machine or automated software.High degree of translation accuracy, and exacting standards of subtitling are maintained at all levels of our service.

All our subtitling projects are assigned to native language translators/transcribers, considering that native speakers have a better grasp of idiomatic speech, slang, regional dialects, and subtle differences in connotation flow that otherwise would be lost if non-native speakers were to translate them.

• The transcripts go through a three-step QC after completion, any errors identified are corrected by an editor with native language experience. An audit follows after the QC is completed to ensure that translation guidelines are maintained.
• In the final process before subtitling, captioning specialist splits the transcript into chucks or caption frames. Time codes are added to the frames to accurately sync with the audio of the video, and subtitles are positioned at the bottom of the video screen.
• After captions have been added, synchronization errors are corrected, before sending them to the customer. The captioning files can be delivered in 13 different closed captioning formats, depending on the needs of the client.
