Our Expertise
Subtitles
Subtitles open up your video content to audiences around the world.
Out of the world’s approximately 7.8 billion inhabitants, 1.5 billion speak English.ย That’s 19% of the Earth’s population.ย However, most of those people aren’t native English speakers.
About 360 million people speak English as their first language.ย And there are about 743 million non-native English speakers in the world.
Not Everyone Speaks English
80% of the views on YouTube come from outside US, UK and other countries where English is the primary language.
That tells you that in this digital age, rest of the non-English speaking world is super eager to consume your content.
If you can reach a segment of the online population who don’t speak any English (approximately 2 billion people), simply by adding subtitles to your videos, you will get the best return on your video investment.
With the amazing success of the Korean movie Parasite winning an Oscar, and many foreign films and shows garnering global popularity with the help of subtitles, this is one aspect you simply can’t ignore.
Closed Captions
Close to 30 million people in the USA alone are either completely deaf or hard of hearing.
According to the WHO, “Around 466 million people worldwide have disabling hearing loss.ย And it is estimated that by 2050 over 900 million people will have disabling hearing loss.”
You also add in viewers who might have trouble processing auditory or speech components in media, as well as over a billion second or foreign language English speakers.
Videos with closed captions receive a 40% spike in viewing and videos with both captions and subtitles experience an 80% increase in viewing.
The Large Majority Watch Videos on Mute
According toย this dataย from publishers,ย 85% ofย Facebook videos are watched without sound!ย Internal tests at Facebook found that captioned video ads saw a 12% increase in engagement.
Using our video transcription services, you can give your viewers the option of accurate closed captions on your videos.
YouTube Transcription
Let’s be honest, the default automatic YouTube captions are subpar.
The internet is full of funny memes and parodies making fun of catastrophic errors on videos.
What is not funny though is you losing viewers or subscribers because they can’t understand your videos, and YouTube’s automatic closed captions making it worse.
How to Get New YouTube Subscribers?
Reaching new audiences is a cornerstone of business success.ย With accurate closed captions, you add viewers to your audience who would normally be unable to fully comprehend the video because of either hearing impairment or not comprehending the language.
More importantly, your content might be able to help the hearing disabled in ways you may not know.
By using our youtube video transcription services to add accurate closed captions to your videos, or by publishing transcripts of your videos on your website or blog, you make it easier and more accessible for people to consume your content.
Client Testimonials
Best service in my experience
Wow, simply top notch! I just had to login here and share this with anyone looking for excellent professionalism and quality service for subtitles work. I make movies and was facing a race agaisnst time to get our short film for a festival deadline, Scriptosphere was picked on whim because the title just rang with me, I was expecting a decent enough job since I wanted the delivery in a day, I asked them to treat it as a special case and boy have these guys delivered or what. I couldn’t find one mistake in language construction (that could also be to my short comings as a literary guy) but full points to these guys for delivering more than what was expected, on time and technically sound. Highly recommended to anyone who likes working with no nonsense professionals. I have already thanked you guys on mail but here is another one, thanks and good luck ahead! Cheers ๐๐๐ผ
