1. Service & destination

What do you need?

Subtitles, CC or SDH — what’s the difference?

Subtitles show the spoken dialogue as text, in the original language or translated.

Closed captions (CC) include dialogue, speaker identification and relevant sounds, such as music or a doorbell, to help viewers who are deaf or hard of hearing follow the video.

SDH means Subtitles for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. Like captions, SDH includes speaker identification and relevant sounds. It can be in the original language or translated; the required file format and delivery specifications may differ.

Choosing in this shop: Under Bespoke, choose Same-language closed captions for accessibility in the original language, or Translated subtitles and select Add SDH for accessibility in another language.

Which checks do you need?

Bridge · Advanced · $2/min

Detailed specification fixes throughout, including shot timing, positioning and italics.

What’s included? — Bridge · Advanced · $2/min

Everything in Bridge-Web, plus:

  • Fix timing throughout according to the client’s requirements: timed to audio, shot changes or Netflix shot-timing rules, including the 12-frame rule.
  • Fix straightforward italics issues that do not require linguistic judgement, including off-screen speakers, speech through electronic media, ship/album/song names and song lyrics.
  • Adjust positions throughout to avoid subtitles covering on-screen text, faces and important visual action.
  • Validate the final exported file through playback: confirm it renders correctly and retains timing, positioning and italics.
  • Watch the full video for timing, positioning and identifiable italics issues, and report issues that cannot be fixed within this scope.

Technical work does not include dialogue accuracy, translation, spelling, grammar, punctuation, rewriting, line-break changes, segmentation, splitting or merging cues, missing dialogue or lyrics, or adding or rewriting speaker IDs and sound descriptions. Issues needing linguistic judgement are flagged.

Technical rates are USD per film minute, per subtitle file/language, with urgent work quoted separately. Files with extensive timing errors, structural corruption or unusually high correction needs may require a revised quote after assessment.

USD 10 minimum per target language after combining the selected services. Supply existing subtitle files to the manager.

Up to 500 MB. Videos are stored privately until removed by the team.

Your upload will be checked before ordering.

How we calculate billable minutes

We charge for the full actual runtime of the video, including black video, silence, credits and any other additional material. Partial minutes are charged proportionally.

The $10 minimum per target language still applies after combining selected services. Prices are rounded to cents; runtime is not rounded to whole minutes.

Delivery timing will be confirmed with you.
A FEW PRACTICAL DETAILS

Good to know.

Can I order any language combination?

Yes. Search for a language or enter a regional variant. If a combination needs a closer look, the team confirms pricing and availability before payment.

Do I need subtitles or captions / SDH?

Translated subtitles carry dialogue into another language. Snap offers AI-generated same-language subtitles with light human corrections. Bespoke offers same-language closed captions. Captions and SDH also include relevant sounds and speaker identification for accessibility. We can help you choose.

What if I do not know the delivery specifications?

Select “Other / not sure” and tell us where the video will be used. The team will clarify the requirements before confirming the order.

Which video should I upload?

An MP4 reference copy is a practical starting point. Audio and on-screen text must be clear, and timing must match your final edit. The upload limit is 500 MB.

How will my video be protected?

Uploaded videos are stored privately until removed by the team. Duration verification lasts for one hour; this does not delete the uploaded file.

Can I supply existing subtitles or a script?

Yes. Add supporting materials to your order. Existing subtitles may need review before we can confirm how they affect the price.

What happens if I need a correction?

Contact the team through your order. Corrections to Wilco-Media’s work within the agreed scope are handled without an additional charge. A new edit or changed instructions may require a revised quote. The correction window will be stated before purchase.
