How to Create Japanese Subtitles for Your Audio & Video Content

Are you looking to reach a wider audience and expand the reach of your audio and video content? If so, creating Japanese subtitles should be on your agenda. Japanese is the ninth most spoken language in the world, with over 125 million native speakers, and is widely used in countries such as Japan, Taiwan, and the Philippines.

What are Subtitles?

Subtitles are a great way to make your content available to a larger audience. They are lines of text that appear at the bottom of your video screen to provide a translation or transcription of the audio content. Subtitles are different from captions in that they don’t provide descriptions of sound effects or background music.

Benefits of Transcription and Subtitles

Transcribing audio and video content into Japanese and adding subtitles can provide a number of benefits. For one, subtitles can make it easier for viewers to understand the content and follow along with the audio. This can be especially helpful for those who don’t speak the language of the audio. Subtitles also make it easier to find, share, and repurpose content. Additionally, subtitles can make it easier for viewers with hearing impairments to understand the content.

Publicly Available Japanese URLs

You can also upload media to Speak through a publicly available URL.

As long as the file type extension is available at the end of the URL you will have no problem importing your recording for automatic Japanese subtitling and analysis.

Japanese YouTube URLs

Speak is compatible with YouTube videos. All you have to do is copy the URL of the YouTube video (for example, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKfcLcHeivc).

Speak will automatically find the file, calculate the length, and import the video.

Please make sure you use the full link and not the shortened YouTube snippet. Additionally, make sure you remove the channel name from the URL.

Speak Integrations

As mentioned, Speak also contains a range of integrations for Zoom, Zapier, Vimeo and more that will help you automatically subtitle your media.

This library of integrations continues to grow! Have a request? Feel encouraged to send us a message.

Step 3: Calculate and pay the total automatically

Once you have your Japanese audio or video file ready and load it into Speak, it will automatically calculate the total cost (you get 30 minutes free in the trial – take advantage of it!).

You can pay by subscribing to a personalized plan using our real-time calculator with included minutes.

You can also add a balance or pay for uploads without a plan using your credit card.

Step 4: Wait for Speak to subtitle your Japanese audio or Japanese video

Our automated subtitling software will prepare your Japanese subtitles in as little as a few minutes. Generally, Speak takes about half the audio or video length to produce the subtitles and insights.

Once completed, you will get an email notification that your Japanese subtitles is complete. That email will contain a link back to the file so you can access the interactive media player with the Japanese subtitles, analysis, and export formats ready for you.

Step 5: View and edit your automated Japanese subtitles

Want to tackle the subtitles edits yourself? All good! Once you receive your automated subtitles you have the option to edit your subtitles at any time.

Easily update speaker names, find and replace, and get your automatic Japanese subtitles up to full accuracy with our intuitive subtitles editing system.
