Thai subtitling services

Because Thai is written without spaces between words, so software wrapping text on character count has nothing to guide it and splits wherever the line runs out. Knowing where a break is acceptable requires knowing where the words are, which is why Thai line breaking is done by a native subtitler rather than left to the tool.

Not reliably. Word segmentation is the core difficulty, and it affects both recognition and line breaking, so errors compound at two separate stages. Add the rendering issues with stacked marks and the output usually needs rebuilding rather than correcting. Every file we deliver is produced and checked by a native Thai subtitler.

Expect 24 to 48 hours on a short video. What changes it is whether we transcribe the Thai audio before we translate, how many output formats you need, and running time. Your project manager confirms the date before we start.

Thai subtitling is billed per minute of finished video. Thai runs without spaces between words, so line-breaking has to follow the language's own segmentation rather than a character count — that expertise, plus running time, transcription, SDH or burned-in output and formats, shapes the cost. Every project is priced individually, backed by the Price Match Promise.

Yes. As well as translating into Thai, we produce same-language Thai captions and SDH — the closed captioning teams need for accessibility and muted social. If your video is already in Thai and you just want accurate on-screen captions, that is core to our Thai captioning service.

Certainly. With a transcript or SRT in hand we spot and time from it, breaking Thai lines at natural word boundaries rather than mid-word. Otherwise we transcribe the Thai audio first. Every file goes through the same linguistic and technical QA.

The standard set, and the awkward ones: SRT, VTT, STL and TTML that carry Thai script and correct line-breaking into Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve and the major online players — or burnt into the picture as a finished MP4/MOV so the text always displays correctly.

Both. We can hardcode open captions into the video with the Thai font rendered correctly, or deliver a separate SRT/VTT sidecar you can toggle — tell us which your platform needs.

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.

Send it over. Our Price Match Promise covers like-for-like work, and because our quotes are itemised you can see exactly what is being compared — which is usually where the gap turns out to be, in a revision pass, a licence or a delivery format that the cheaper figure quietly left out. If it really is the same work for less, we match it.
