Frequently Asked - Questions and Answers
Translation templates are specialised transcript formats used when converting spoken language from one language to another. They are structured to accommodate not only the translated text but also nuances of the original language, ensuring a faithful and accurate representation of the source material. Often the source language and translated text are side by side. This can help edit and understand what is being said more clearly. These types of transcript are very useful for video editing. This includes subtitling in a language different from the source language.
Post-production transcripts are tailored for the film and video production industry. They include not only the spoken words but also non-verbal elements like background noises, music, and cues for sound effects, which are crucial in the editing and production process. They also often include both ‘in’ and ‘out’ timings.
Verbatim transcripts capture every word and sound from the audio source, including pauses, ums, ahs, and laughter. They are vital in legal settings, research interviews, and situations where the exact spoken words, including filler words and non-verbal sounds, are crucial.
Subtitling transcripts, such as SRT (SubRip Subtitle) files, are used for creating subtitles for videos. They not only transcribe the spoken words but also include time codes to sync the text with the video and instructions for subtitle duration and positioning on the screen. SRT files are a great way to make your content accessible.
