Assamese subtitling services

Because of the order the standard was built in, not a judgement about the language. Unicode encodes the shared script once, under the name Bengali, and its own documentation records that speakers prefer Bangla and that the block supports modern Assamese orthography. Published identifiers cannot be renamed, so annotations were added and the labels stayed. The letters themselves are correct; only the names attached to them read oddly.

It does. Assamese has a two-letter code of its own, as, and type engines treat the Assamese and Bangla language systems as separate things, so a font can select different letterforms depending on which one it is told. The tag also drives font fallback and the name shown in the player's subtitle menu. We set it to Assamese and confirm it survives whatever the file passes through on the way to your platform.

They are the two letters Assamese uses that Bangla does not: ra and wa. In Unicode they carry Bengali names, which is how they end up treated as variants rather than letters in their own right. A Bangla reviewer will mark them as errors, and a font or keyboard set up for Bangla may not offer them at all. A native Assamese subtitler is the check that catches this reliably.

Yes, and it is a common request. We read the file, correct the language tag, restore the two Assamese letters wherever they were substituted, and run a native Assamese reading pass so nothing else was quietly normalised along the way. Then we time and format it to your delivery spec. If the original timing is sound, most of the cost is in the linguistic pass.

Assamese subtitling starts at £20 per minute of video. What moves the figure is running time, whether we transcribe the Assamese audio before anything else, whether you need SDH or a burnt-in master, and how many delivery formats come out at the end. Every job is quoted individually with an itemised breakdown and covered by our Price Match Promise.

Of course, and a good share of our Assamese work is exactly that. Same-language captions and SDH give accessibility teams what they need, keep a muted social feed readable, and give search engines something to index. The language tag and the two Assamese letters get the same attention they would in a translated file, because the failure mode is identical either way.

Yes, and it usually brings the cost down. We spot and time from what you send, then read it against the audio and check what the file is declaring itself to be — inherited Assamese files very often arrive tagged as Bengali, which is the first thing we correct. Where no transcript exists we transcribe the audio first. Either route gets the same linguistic and technical QA.

They will. We deliver SRT, VTT, STL and TTML that keep ৰ and ৱ intact and carry the right language declaration into Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve and the major online editors. Where the delivery chain is long or unknown, a burnt-in MP4 or MOV removes the question entirely, because the letterforms are already part of the picture.
