Creating subtitles and transcripts for audio and video content in the Chinese (Cantonese, Traditional) language has many benefits, from improving accessibility and enabling content to reach new audiences, to understanding customer feedback and analyzing conversations.

What are Subtitles and How are they Different than Captions?

Subtitles are text versions of spoken dialogue in a video or audio file. They are a great way to increase the accessibility of a video, making it easier to follow the narrative and understand the content even if the audio is not clear or is inaudible.

Captions, on the other hand, include both dialogue and sound effects. Captions may also be used to add emphasis to a scene or for comedic effect.
