Present you a #playlist I curated during the years, with #jpop #jrock #jpunk #jmusic in general basically.

particularity: every music video has #japanese #subtitles ^^

useful if you are studying #日本語 and want something to exercise your reading #skills on :3

I find #music to be one of the best ways to learn a language, other than #films and talking with actual #people or #AI at this point ^^

Anyone have experience with https://freesubtitles.ai?

I just discovered it, and it seems like something that I, as an ESOL teacher, could get a lot of use out of, even just for the subtitles. But, it also says it can translate subtitles - and the first language is *free*.

Many sites that translate subtitles cost a lot of money & require monthly / yearly subscriptions.

Thanks for any info. I'll try it ofc, but other's insights are appreciated.

Can anyone #recommend some good, free, #video #editing #software for Windows?

Something where I can #clip videos and add #subtitles.

Thanks.

Okay. My search skills seem to be failing me.

I'm looking for a free tool that will:

• Accept the input of a raw text transcript.
• Synchronise that text against the audio file from a video.
• Allow me to export it as a subtitle file.

I've found tools that can do some of the tasks, or do similar activities, but not the exact ones I'm after.

#subtitles #transcription

I've absolutely not fallen down a rabbit hole of adding accurate subtitles to my #VisionariesKnightsOfTheMagicalLight DVD encodes right now.

Why do you ask? 😅

Several years ago I switched from Jubler to #Aegisub to fix movie #subtitles. Yesterday I found there are free #lua automation scripts that add even more functionality to the app. Of course you can also write your own.

For who's interested, check some out here https://www.qwant.com/?q=lua+scripts+for+aegisub&t=web

Sitting down to watch #Netflix with my tea. It's a foreign language drama. First 30 seconds - a clock is ticking loudly, sounding more like a heartbeat.

Urgh. I don't hold out much hope for the subtitles on this one then.....

Turning on #subtitles and the language is English (auto-generated)

Sometimes, subtitles can really elevate a film. For example, this Swedish version of Lord of the Rings.

(It's worth the wait)

@thudfactor I just came across this browser extension. No idea if it works but maybe worth a try https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/open-subtitles/gbagdbjhcmodnokmjfhkhagnhgmmpgan #accessibility #film #subtitles

I have a question about subtitles and captions. In French, we said « sous-titres ». When we translate this word, it’s « subtitles » but a lot of people talk about captions. « Captions » in French is « légendes ». So, I’m confused. What is the right word to designate subtitles on videos ? Captions ? Subtitles ? Both ? Thank you !

#subtitles #fail

Also, today I learned they #dubbed #GoodOmens2 in #Dutch! Why?!
Only kids shows get dubbed.

Who is going to use the Dutch dubbed version?!

#Subtitles are more than enough for Dutch viewers. As all our non-Dutch media is like that. Original sound and subtitles. #amazon #prime.

I'm sure the Dutch actors they hired for this did a great job.

So recently, I fired one of my #subtitling customers, a major US #streaming platform (that must remain unnamed because NDA). Why? A fatally flawed style guide, a QA process purely based on metrics, and a 100% top-down organisation with *zero* processes in place for #KnowledgeSharing or supplying feedback.

If that's how you're running a business in a creative industry, don't be surprised if you're having a hard time finding or retaining skilled workers. I'm just saying.

9 PM and the auditorium's closed at the Greksil Military Institute.

Late night study session just ended, and Cadet Percival just wanted to surprise Cadet Coran.

Nothing turns me away faster from a #youtube video than lack of #captions. I don't just mean manmade #cc. I mean yes, ideally all videos would have professional #subtitles, but that's obviously wishing for way too much. But even auto cc are really helpful to me, and if a video doesn't have that, unless I'm on my computer where I can use chrome auto transcribe, I almost always don't watch the video, because I'm just going to be frustrated only understanding 15% of the words said.

#hardofhearing

I have subtitles/CC turned ON for ALL video content: movies/TV/news/music. So it's super-irritating when something doesn't have it!

It started decades ago watching foreign/UK movies. And then wanting to not miss any of the jokes/details in US TV/movies. And now it's great to be able to catch up on TikTok/Youtube videos on phone with audio off in public or with kids sleeping.

In any case, I can barely understand whatever they incoherently mumble these days.

#subtitles

@dave I watch shows with #subtitles because the volume control on almost everything is SO. BAD. I'd rather have the volume too low to hear dialogue than have neighbors 3 streets over hear the transition music a few seconds later.
