Subtitlers
Subtitlers are professionals who create written text that appears on screen during films, television shows, or online videos. Their main job is to translate spoken dialogue into text, ensuring that viewers can understand the content, especially if it is in a different language. They also consider timing, readability, and cultural context to make the subtitles effective.
In addition to translation, subtitlers may also include descriptions of sound effects or music cues, which helps viewers who are deaf or hard of hearing. This work is essential for making media accessible to a wider audience, including those who speak different languages or have hearing impairments.
