In the realm of video production, especially in a multilingual context, subtitles play a crucial role in ensuring content is accessible and understood by a global audience. However, the traditional process of generating translated subtitles is lengthy, labor-intensive, and costly. Today, we're going to break down these workflows and show you how JimakuAI is pioneering a paradigm shift, making the process not only faster but also significantly more cost-effective.
The Traditional Workflow: A Time-Consuming Affair
Let's walk through the typical steps involved in transcribing and translating subtitles for a 1-hour video:
- Request for Transcription: You reach out to a transcriber and ask them to manually transcribe your video.
- Transcription Process: The transcriber, possibly with the aid of speech-to-text software, painstakingly transcribes the video content.
- Aligning Text to Speech: The transcriber ensures that the written text matches the timing of the spoken words.
- Data Entry: The transcript is manually entered into a spreadsheet – be it Excel, Google Sheets, or another platform.
- The Waiting Game: The transcription process alone can take several days.
- Translation Begins: The transcript is handed off to a translator who must manually translate the content.
- Adjusting Timings: The translator modifies the spreadsheet to ensure the translated text aligns correctly with the video's timing.
- Quality Control: Another set of eyes reviews everything for accuracy and consistency.
- Conversion to SRT: This spreadsheet must then be tediously converted into an SRT file format, which can also take days.
- Final Integration: The SRT file can finally be used in software like Adobe Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro.
This process is not just tedious but also rife with opportunities for errors, miscommunication, and delays.
