Generate Accurate Subtitles for Chinese-English Videos

Frequently Asked Questions

• Where can I check pricing and available trial credits?

  Check the current Pricing page and your account balance before submitting a task. Available trial credits, paid options, and the cost shown for your selected workflow should guide your decision. Review the task settings and displayed estimate before confirming; this guide does not promise a fixed free allowance or a specific price.

• How accurate is OCR for Chinese-English subtitle extraction?

  OCR reads visible Chinese-English captions from video frames, while speech recognition transcribes spoken audio. Check whether the speech uses Mandarin, Cantonese, or another Chinese variety before choosing recognition settings. Review English brand names inside Chinese phrases, script choice, punctuation at language switches, and line breaks so names and words remain intact.

• Can I batch extract subtitles from multiple Chinese-English videos?

  Yes, batch workflows can help process multiple videos for subtitle generation. Treat each file as a separate review item: confirm the spoken Chinese variety, identify code-switching into English, and check names, terminology, timing, and line breaks before downloading each reviewed subtitle file. This is especially useful when a series repeats product terms or speakers.

• How do I proofread and edit Chinese-English subtitles?

  Review the generated text against both the audio and visible captions when available. Confirm Chinese script, the chosen Chinese variety, English spelling, brand names, and terminology at every language switch. Then adjust subtitle timing and line breaks without splitting words or names. Inspect the complete sequence before downloading the subtitle file for delivery.

• Do I need professional video editing experience?

  Start by choosing a video and the appropriate subtitle workflow. You do not need to prepare a full editing project, but you should review recognized wording, names, timing, and line breaks before publishing. Specialized dialogue may need a knowledgeable reviewer, especially when a small transcription error changes the meaning.

• What other languages does Weydub support for subtitle timing?

  Use the current language choices shown in the workflow rather than assuming Chinese-English names one spoken language. Select the Chinese variety that matches the audio, then verify English code-switches separately during timing review. Check terminology, punctuation, and line breaks at each switch, because timing may be usable while the written language choices still need editorial correction.

• Is there a video length limit for Chinese-English videos?

  Follow the current upload requirements shown by Weydub for each video rather than relying on an unverified fixed limit. For longer Chinese-English material, organize files into clear sections and preserve the surrounding context when checking timing. Review repeated names, mixed-language terminology, and caption continuity across file boundaries before preparing the final subtitle deliverables.

• How can I style Chinese-English subtitles after generation?

  First review and download the generated subtitle file, then apply its presentation in a compatible downstream editor or player. Check that Chinese characters, English names, punctuation, and line breaks display correctly in the chosen font. Keep words and names intact, and verify timing after styling because a changed layout can alter how comfortably each caption is read.

• How do I extract hardcoded Chinese-English subtitles?

  Choose an OCR workflow when the Chinese-English captions are hardcoded into the picture, then submit the video for extraction. OCR reads the visible text rather than the speech track, so compare results with the frames and audio afterward. Check Chinese script, English brand names, punctuation at switches, timing, and line breaks before downloading the subtitle file.

• What's the difference between external and hardcoded video subtitles?

  An external subtitle file is separate text that a player or editor can load, while hardcoded subtitles are visible pixels inside the video image. OCR can extract hardcoded Chinese-English captions into a downloadable subtitle file. A selectable embedded track is different from picture text, so identify the source type first and review names, timing, punctuation, and line breaks after extraction.

• What should I check before uploading private or licensed footage?

  Use footage you are entitled to process and check the current privacy policy and service terms before uploading sensitive material. For client projects, confirm that the agreed handling of faces, voices, personal details, and licensed media permits this workflow. Ask support about any specific retention or processing requirement rather than assuming a promise from this guide.
