What Are AI Subtitling & Captioning Services?

Depending on the platform you’re on, you’re dealing with six-second attention spans that leave you no room for guesswork. If the on-screen text disappears too soon or if your translations aren’t accurate, your audience is going to swipe away!

Our AI subtitling and captioning services fix that by:

Listening to your video
Turning speech into text instantly and accurately
Lining every character up to the millisecond
Adding captioning so you also capture ambient sounds (door slams, music cues)

Our AI engine does the heavy lifting here, while our Audiovisual linguists jump in to make sure tricky idioms are accurately written - no bad translations that don't highlight the content properly. This gives your videos a much more native and inclusive feel, from Buenos Aires to Bangkok!

Why Are Quality AI Subtitles and Captions So Important?

Why Are Quality AI Subtitles and Captions So Important?

A single typo in one of your subtitles - especially if it’s due to an incorrect translation into a different language - can have an impact on your credibility. We want your viewers to stay glued to the screen through these services:

Subtitle localization - culturally tuned translations that keep all the same humor and brand voice.
Multilingual closed captions - ADA-compliant text that describes both the dialogue and on-screen sounds.
Website localization - sync captions to any embedded mini-players you have so your visitors spend more time on the site.
SEO-rich transcripts - search engines index every spoken word, which means better discoverability for podcasts or webinars, for example.
Streaming-platform formatting - SRT, VTT, SCC, you name it, delivered ready for instant upload.

We want you to have a single partner who handles everything from the first frame to the final file with Day Translations!

Subtitles vs. Closed Captions - Which Do You Need?

Subtitles assume the viewer can hear but might not understand the language, so they translate spoken dialogue only. Closed captions, on the other hand, cater more to deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences because they show non-speech elements like “[applause]” or “[dramatic music fades].” 

We’re seeing platforms such as Netflix and YouTube now prioritizing accessibility compliance, so most clients order both in one go. We generate the transcript once, then spin out separate subtitle and caption tracks!

Initial AI drafts are highly accurate, just like the rest of our AI services. Our human review then pushes that even further, where we catch context-specific phrasing and on-screen timing glitches.

Yes! This makes it ideal for webinars or any other kind of livestream.

We support SRT, VTT, SCC, TTML, STL, and custom XML. Just tell us where you’re publishing, and we’ll package files to spec.

Definitely, because search engines crawl the text track, which will help your content rank for spoken keywords and appear in “featured snippet” results.

English master subtitles can be ready the same business day, while other languages usually require just a little bit extra (and it depends on review cycles), so that we can make sure any slang or cultural idioms used are properly carried over.
