Samples of Our Work

Voice-Over Process

VoiceoverWe divide our voice-over recording process into three stages: processing, translating, and editing.

The processing stage begins with determining what file format suits your needs. Having done that, we transcribe your recording, and search for repetitions of words, which allows us to give you a discounted rate. We also have one of our linguists specializing in the subject matter translate the transcript.

The translation stage, having begun with the translation of the transcript, continues when a second, equally qualified language specialist proofreads the translated text to ensure consistency of style, vocabulary, grammar, and specialized terminology. The final two steps of the translation stage are to localize the text for its target audience as necessary as well as to record the translated transcript.

The final stage consists of our listening to the translated transcript one more time to root out inaccuracies and deviations from the original spoken text before sending our client the final, translated audio recording, including its written transcript, and awaiting feedback. We then make any necessary changes per the client’s specific requirements.

It is worth noting that the exact number of words in a translated text may differ from the number of words in the original due to differences in the languages’ different characteristics, in which case we make minor alterations to content to preserve the length of the original.

What Our Clients Say

Subtitling and Captions

At Art One Translations, we produce broadcast-level subtitles and captions, both open and closed, for digital and analog videos. Our language experts produce subtitles in a vast number of world languages and any format, including DV Cam, Beta SP, Digi Beta, HD recordings, film, and DVD. Each subtitled or captioned recording is reviewed by a second professional linguist before being sent back to our clients in whatever format they prefer.

Since there are two different ways of outputting files, we always confirm the type of output our clients expect. Both types are described below.

Superimposing Subtitles onto Video Recordings

The simplest way of subtitling is to superimpose subtitles on a video, whereby they cannot be turned on or off. This process was popularized before the advent of DVDs, though it can be used in any number of formats, including DVDs, Beta SP, HE recordings, and Blue Ray. Its best application is for videos whose audience is sure not to know a video’s original language, as they will not want the option of turning the subtitles off.

DVD Subtitling

A means of subtitling videos that has grown more popular over the past few years is to put them on a subtitle track which is separate from a recording’s audio and video tracks. This method enables users to turn subtitles on or off and to play multiple subtitle tracks for the same recording if they wish. Its only downside is that it requires greater user knowledge than superimposed subtitles do. Clients also need to know if they want their recordings authored, which requires the linking of video, subtitles, and audio tracks, and the inclusion of an options menu.

Art One Translations is one of the few companies that offer both superimposed and DVD subtitling. Over the course of a subtitling project, our experts will transcribe recordings, translate their linguistic content, and insert them in whatever format suits our clients. We offer DVD subtitles that can be imported with any common DVD authoring system, such as Apple, Sonic, Sony, and Spruce, and we also make fully authored DVDs upon demand.
