Good morning!

Aside from providing #writing, #translation and #subtitling services, did you know that I’m currently serving my professional association as a social media moderator?

My #Whishper project is now finished!

https://whishper.net/

It is a full #transcription and #subtitling suite that runs 100% offline, making use of Faster-Whisper (based on OpenAI's Whisper) and Argos Translate.

You may not find my name attached to any specific brand or product, but that doesn't bother me since I don't rely on name-dropping.

I'm one of several service providers who work behind the scenes, thanks to non-disclosure agreements — and I'm actually okay with that: https://www.antonimaroto.com/post/messenger

My first movie as a subtitler will be released at the end of the month and I'm very excited 🥺 I still have a long way to go, but this was something I dreamed of just a few years ago. #subtitling #translation

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.

@marcpalmer “There’s no need for artificial intelligence when you have real intelligence” is such a powerful slogan! #subtitling

Not one of the repeat #BBC #Glasto #IPlayer performances has #DeafAccessibility ..... zero #Subtitling, FUCK YOU BBC!

@KittenInACave @BongoMcnulty that's because #subtitles are more traditional in the #USA - in fact the US doesn't have #Teletext because that bandwith was allocated for the mandatory #subtitling feature courtesy of the ADA...

Today I am #subtitling officially the worst film I have seen in my career to date. The writing is horrible, the characters are unlikable and the plot makes no sense. It's not even funny-bad, it's just bad.

Today is going to be a very long day. Send help and/or vibes. :-|

There are a lot of typos in the Desire Catcher subs on viki that I would very much like to just fix, but can't.

Currently idly wondering what the process is to join a subbing team/contact them, is.

I'd really like to watch #TheExpanse on #PrimeVideo one day (I hear it's pretty good), but unfortunately the #subtitles are so poorly done that I just can't watch it. Timing is completely off, horrible formatting, missing spaces everywhere. Just unbelievable lack of quality for such a high-profile series.

I check back once or twice a year to see if they've done anything about it, but… nope, not this time either. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Having a "fun" #subtitling #FreelanceLife morning today as the entire project management team have apparently forgotten that Easter holidays are a thing. 🙃

So now we're on Masto!

Attending Juha Lång's exciting doctoral defence on eye tracking and AVT reception 👏. The results show the advantages of viewing subtitles that adhere to conventions, such as spotting and synchronisation with the audio. (1/2)

A #Bangor lad, now in #Pontypridd.

Expect nonsense about #books, #dogs, #veganfood and #Springsteen, mainly in #Welsh. What a brand.

Subtitling practice: *I'm trying to work on a locked template where I literally can't change any event timings, none of the client's PMs seem to know what's going on with the project anymore, and I've used all the curse words I know twice already*
