Generate Accurate Subtitles for Interview 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.

• Should interviews use OCR or speech recognition?

  Use speech recognition for spoken questions and answers. OCR is relevant when the video already contains visible text, such as name lower thirds or job titles. Review these sources separately: dialogue belongs in timed captions, while visible labels may need transcription without being presented as something the interviewer or guest said.

• How should overlapping interview speech be captioned?

  When an interviewer and guest speak at once, review the audio and retain the words that are understandable and important. Separate speaker turns where timing permits, without assuming automatic speaker identification. If both voices matter, use clear caption segmentation and add speaker labels only after confirming who spoke from the interview context.

• How should guest names and quotations be reviewed?

  Check guest names, organizations, and specialist terms against interview notes or another approved reference. For quoted statements, preserve the transcript wording supported by the audio instead of presenting uncertain wording as verified. Review is still necessary because quotations require contextual checking, and proper names may have spellings that cannot be inferred from pronunciation alone.

• 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.

• Should hesitations stay in interview subtitles?

  Keep hesitations when they communicate uncertainty, emphasis, or a meaningful pause in the guest's response. Repeated fillers can make captions difficult to read, so assess them in context before trimming. Aim for readable caption segmentation while preserving the speaker's intent, level of confidence, and the substance of the answer.

• How should lower thirds and dialogue be separated?

  A name lower third identifies a person visually, while dialogue represents spoken audio. Review OCR text separately from speech recognition results so a job title is not inserted into the spoken transcript. Check caption placement and line breaks as well, especially during introductions, to avoid covering or duplicating visible labels.

• How are captions retimed after Q-and-A edits?

  When questions, pauses, or answers are shortened, existing caption timing may no longer match the revised interview. Review each affected speaker turn, move caption boundaries to the edited audio, and inspect nearby transitions. Pay particular attention to cuts made mid-sentence so the resulting segments continue to follow the spoken wording and intended meaning.

• What line breaks work for long interview answers?

  Break long answers at natural phrase boundaries rather than splitting names, job titles, or closely connected words. Keep each caption readable while preserving the guest's meaning. After segmentation, watch the sequence with audio to find captions that appear too briefly, continue into the next question, or obscure visible interview labels.

• What should be reviewed before exporting subtitles?

  Review the complete interview with audio before downloading the output. Check speaker turns, proper names, specialist terminology, punctuation, timing, and line breaks, then revisit sections with overlapping speech or edited questions. Confirm that visible job titles remain distinct from dialogue and that caption placement does not hide important on-screen information.

• 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.
