“..It was a completely self funded project and I didn’t make it easy for myself. I knew I would need to enlist help along the way, and after searching for a subtitling company to help translate the English into French I found ‘Absolute Translations’. This is a company that I could not recommend highly enough. This is the type of company that goes the extra mile for their clients. Its exactly what they did for me, working with me to get the best subtitling option for my film. I am not one of these big London production companies, I am a sole trader, who’s making a personal project and I really felt like they cared just as much for me and my project. The work was done really quick and helped me to push on and finish my film to a great standard.”

Great Service, Quick Turnaround, Positive Experience
Great, responsive communication from Melis at Absolute Translations. As I'm on a v. limited budget, I chose to translate the document in question myself (being fluent in both languages). Absolute were happy to proof and certify my translation, no quibbles, allowing me to remain solvent! I am very grateful for the service that was provided; quick turnaround and I was able to collect in person at their London offices. Now, let's hope HM Gov accept!

Video subtitling is when titles convey all the dialogue, music and sound effects in a piece of video this can help with accessibility for deaf or sound impaired viewers. Social media viewers are also more engaged when videos are shown with subtitles.
Video transcription is the process of changing the speech in a video to text formats. For example you might require a transcript for your video content if you want to also have a hand out with all the information contained in the video included.
Video dubbing is the process of taking video in another language and adding additional audio files that have been translated or corrected over the top. This is most often used when sharing content in different countries.
Closed captions and subtitles can appear similar but they are not the same! Closed captioning is the text alternative for the dialogue of the video footage.
Subtitles are a helpful supplement to this dialogue – they describe additional audio cues that need describing, like background noises, phones ringing and other audio cues improving the accessibility of your content.
