Generate Accurate Subtitles for Korean 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 Korean dialogue use OCR or speech recognition?

  Use speech recognition for spoken Korean dialogue and OCR for Korean text already visible in the frames. These inputs address different sources: speech recognition transcribes audio, while OCR reads titles, captions, or signs. If a video contains both, review them separately so visible text is not mistaken for dialogue or duplicated in the subtitle track.

• How should Korean spacing be checked in subtitles?

  Review Korean spacing word by word because incorrect spacing can reduce readability or alter a phrase's meaning. Pay close attention to particles, dependent nouns, counters, and multiword expressions. Compare each subtitle with the spoken sentence, then apply consistent spacing whenever the same term, title, or name appears elsewhere in the video.

• How do speech levels affect Korean subtitle wording?

  Korean speech levels convey relationships, politeness, and tone, so subtitles should preserve the register heard in the audio. Check whether speakers use formal endings, polite conversational forms, or casual speech, and avoid changing every line to one style. Following each speaker's role and situation also helps reviewers identify endings that do not fit the scene.

• 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.

• Where should Korean subtitle lines be broken?

  Break Korean subtitles at natural phrase boundaries instead of separating particles, verb endings, names, or tightly connected grammatical units. For a readable two-line subtitle, keep related words together and balance the visual length of the lines. Recheck each break against the frame so subtitles do not unnecessarily cover faces or important on-screen text.

• How should Korean subtitle timing follow dialogue?

  Align each subtitle with the corresponding Korean utterance, then check pauses, interruptions, and rapid speaker changes. Avoid leaving text visible after the spoken thought has ended or combining different speakers in one cue. Review timing and sentence structure together, since natural Korean phrasing may require cue boundaries that preserve both meaning and readability.

• How do hardcoded and external Korean subtitles differ?

  Hardcoded Korean subtitles are embedded as visible pixels in video frames, so OCR is relevant when identifying their text. External subtitles are separate timed cues that can be reviewed independently. Determine which type is present before generating subtitles, especially if both appear, to prevent duplicated dialogue and keep titles, labels, or signs separate from spoken content.

• How should Korean names and terminology be reviewed?

  Check Korean names, brands, technical terms, and loanwords against trusted project references rather than relying only on recognition output. Confirm Hangul spelling, spacing, capitalization in Latin text, and consistent treatment across repeated mentions. When a speaker uses an abbreviation or specialized expression, review the surrounding context before replacing it with a more familiar-looking form.

• What should be checked before exporting Korean subtitles?

  Before export, review the full video for missing cues, duplicated text, speaker changes, names, Korean spacing, speech levels, timing, and two-line layout. Confirm that Korean text detected through OCR has not been mixed with spoken dialogue. Also inspect subtitles over bright, busy, or text-heavy scenes to ensure the layout remains readable across changing backgrounds.

• 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.
