Question 1

Are these tools really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes — every tool is free and needs no sign-up or account. We built them from our own day-to-day voice over, subtitling and localisation work, and share them because they save our clients (and us) time.

Question 2

Do the tools give me an exact price?

Accepted Answer

The usage-fee calculator shows you what genuinely drives a voice over fee — the recording (studio) fee plus a usage licence set by media, territory and term — and hands your choices to us for an exact, itemised quote. We don't show a fabricated instant figure, because a real price depends on your script length, talent and how the audio is used, and we'd rather be accurate than approximate.

Question 3

Is my data or my files kept?

Accepted Answer

The subtitle converter runs entirely in your browser — your files are never uploaded to a server. The other tools only use what you type to give you a result on the page.

Question 4

Do you also provide the services these tools relate to?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We're a voice over, subtitling, translation and transcription agency with native talent in 100+ languages, recorded in our own Central-London studios. If the tools raise a question, send us your brief and we'll help — usually within a few hours.

Question 5

Can I link to these tools from my own site?

Accepted Answer

Please do — you're welcome to link to any of them. They're meant to be useful references for anyone producing localised audio or video.

Question 6

Which subtitle formats does the converter handle?

Accepted Answer

The subtitle converter works with the common formats — SRT and VTT among them — and runs entirely in your browser, so you can convert between them without uploading anything or installing software.

Question 7

What reading-speed limits does the subtitle checker use?

Accepted Answer

The reading-speed checker measures characters per second (CPS) against presets for platforms like Netflix, broadcast and social, and lets you set your own limit — then flags the lines that run too fast and lets you export a clean report.

Question 8

How accurate is the script-time calculator?

Accepted Answer

It's a reliable estimate for budgeting and session planning, based on a typical delivery pace. The exact runtime always depends on the voice and the read — a documentary is slower than a fast retail ad — so treat it as a close guide rather than a to-the-second figure.

Question 9

Can the usage-fee calculator tell me the final price?

Accepted Answer

It shows you what drives a voice over fee — the recording (studio) fee plus a usage licence set by media, territory and term — and hands your choices to us for an exact, itemised quote. We don't show a fabricated instant number because a real price depends on your script and how the audio is used, and we'd rather be accurate than approximate.
