Hebrew subtitling services

Bidirectional text is the usual cause. When Latin characters, numbers, or punctuation sit inside a right to left line, the player has to decide how to order them, and implementations differ. The file itself may be correct while one particular player renders it wrongly. We test against the target environment and flag anything that will not survive it.

Yes, and it comes up constantly in technical, corporate, and academic material where product names and terminology stay in English. It is the most common source of display problems, so we handle the ordering explicitly rather than leaving it to the player to work out.

Yes. Alongside standard subtitles we produce SDH files that include sound effects, music cues, and speaker identification for deaf and hard of hearing viewers, formatted to the specification your platform or broadcaster requires.

Poorly. Recognition accuracy is lower than for major European languages, the absence of written vowels removes information the software would otherwise use, and right to left rendering compounds the problem at the output stage. Every file we deliver is produced and checked by a native Hebrew subtitler.

Short videos land in 24 to 48 hours, often sooner. What stretches it: the running time, the number of output formats leaving with the job, and whether the Hebrew audio has to be transcribed before anyone can translate it. Your project manager gives you a firm date at the start.

Hebrew subtitling is charged by the running minute of video. Right-to-left layout and any mixed Hebrew/Latin on-screen text add a check, alongside running time, transcription, SDH or an open-caption master, and how many files leave with it. A file can be technically correct yet display wrong in a specific player, so we confirm the target platform up front. Each project gets its own quote, with the Price Match Promise behind it.

Yes, and they are two different jobs. Translating into Hebrew is one; writing same-language Hebrew captions and SDH is the other, which is what accessibility work and muted social feeds call for. Footage already in Hebrew that needs nothing more than accurate right-to-left text on screen sits squarely inside our Hebrew captioning service.

That works. We time straight from your transcript or SRT, watching that right-to-left punctuation and any embedded Latin words or numbers sit where they should and survive your player. With nothing to work from, we transcribe the Hebrew audio ourselves. Both routes end at the same two checks, one linguistic and one technical.

Every format you are likely to be asked for. Hebrew right-to-left text travels intact in SRT, VTT, STL and TTML, through Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve and the main online players. Where bidirectional text has to render correctly no matter what, we burn it into the picture and hand you a finished MP4 or MOV.

Less than people expect: the video, or a link to it, its running time, which platform or broadcaster it is going to, and the date you need it by. A rough cut is fine — we would rather quote on what exists than wait for picture lock and lose a week of your schedule. A named project manager comes back with an itemised quote, normally within four working hours.

More than half of enquiries get a reply within thirty minutes during office hours (Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm UK time), and the itemised quote normally follows within four working hours. After that you have one dedicated project manager who owns the job from brief to final file — not a ticket queue, and not a different name on every email. If it is easier, call +44 207 095 5730 and ask for them by name.

Yes, and it is one of the commonest reasons people get in touch. Tell us it is for a pitch and you get a figure you can put in front of your own client, itemised so it stands up to being picked apart, with no obligation and no follow-up sales calls if the pitch goes elsewhere. If it lands, the quote still holds and we already know the project.
