Fast subtitles: Our tips for this essential step for communications professionals

How do you create fast subtitles without sacrificing quality?

To achieve fast subtitles while maintaining high standards, you need to reconcile advanced technology, efficient practices and meticulous verification. Here are the keys:

1. Use automated tools

Today, artificial intelligence platforms such as Yuzzit or AutoCaption can generate subtitles almost instantaneously, with accuracy rates often in excess of 90%. These tools support multiple languages and offer features such as :

• Powerful speech recognition: ideal for detecting words with strong accents or in complex sound environments.
• Real-time editing: quickly adjust subtitles to correct transcription errors.

2. Adopt best practices

• Synchronization: Make sure your subtitling is perfectly synchronized with the audio. Even the slightest discrepancy can have a detrimental effect on the user experience. 
• Clarity and conciseness: Limit each line of subtitles to around 42 characters to avoid overloading the screen and allow for quick reading.
• Visual personalization: Integrate graphic elements that respect your corporate identity (fonts, colors, subtitle backgrounds). Make sure text remains legible, even on visually complex backgrounds.

3. Perform a quick reread

Even the most advanced automatic subtitling tools can make mistakes, especially for :

• Proper nouns
• Technical jargon
• Strong accents  

Review your subtitles and test them in different formats to ensure they are smooth and easy to read.

Why is fast subtitling essential in a professional environment?

Time is a precious resource for community managers, communications professionals and journalists. Yet subtitled videos that require extra action are increasingly in demand. Why is it important to spend time on them?

1. Accessibility: Subtitling makes your videos accessible to the deaf or hard-of-hearing, as well as to those who watch without sound. On social networks, where the majority of videos are consumed in silent mode, this practice is a necessity.
   
   
2. Enhanced engagement: Subtitled videos capture and hold viewers' attention more effectively. Studies show that subtitles increase viewing time and encourage interaction with content.
   
   
3. Optimized SEO: Integrating subtitles into your videos improves their SEO by enabling keyword indexing. Careful transcription can considerably extend the reach of your publications.
   

In short, fast subtitles is no longer a luxury, but a strategic tool to meet changing audience expectations.

Use cases for fast subtitles in a professional context

Subtitles enable community managers to meet the expectations of platforms and users. For example:

2. Communication managers: Strengthening the impact of campaigns

For global campaigns, subtitles play an essential role:
