Generate Accurate Subtitles for Malagasy 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 Weydub's OCR for Malagasy video subtitle extraction?

  OCR reads hardcoded picture text, not spoken dialogue, so results depend on image clarity, contrast, motion, and text placement. Review Malagasy spelling carefully, especially long place names, personal names, verb forms, and French loans. Compare unfamiliar words with an approved reference instead of normalizing them to French, and confirm the intended regional variety and written convention.

• Can I batch extract subtitles from multiple Malagasy videos?

  Use the available batch workflow to submit multiple videos, then review each result separately because audio quality, visible text, and Malagasy usage can vary between recordings. Choose OCR for hardcoded picture text and speech recognition for spoken dialogue. Keep filenames and project labels clear so the downloaded subtitle files remain associated with the correct source videos.

• How do I proofread and edit Malagasy subtitles?

  Compare each cue with the audio, then correct names, long place names, verb forms, regional expressions, and French loans against an approved reference. Adjust timing around complete spoken phrases and revise line breaks without splitting a long Malagasy word into arbitrary pieces. Have a fluent reviewer resolve uncertain expressions before downloading the subtitle file.

• 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?

  Check the current workflow choices to confirm recognition support for Malagasy and any other language needed in the project. Language selection affects text recognition, while timing still requires review against the audio. For multilingual or code-switched speech, verify where the language changes, preserve intended Malagasy wording, and correct names or borrowed French terms rather than applying one language's spelling throughout.

• Is there a video length limit for Malagasy videos?

  Check the current upload requirements before submitting a Malagasy video, since accepted conditions can vary by workflow. For longer recordings or a batch, organize source files and expected subtitle filenames first. After generation, inspect cue continuity across sections, confirm that complete spoken phrases were not split awkwardly, and review every downloaded file before delivery.

• How can I style Malagasy subtitles after generation?

  First review the generated subtitle file for Malagasy spelling, timing, and readable line breaks. Then import that file into a compatible downstream editor or player to apply font, size, color, position, and other presentation settings. Preview long place names and multiword phrases at the intended frame size so styling does not create crowded cues or awkward word breaks.

• How do I extract hardcoded Malagasy subtitles?

  Choose OCR when Malagasy subtitles are visibly burned into the video image, then submit the video and review the extracted text and cue timing. Check low-contrast scenes, motion, decorative fonts, and overlapping graphics closely. Correct names and French loans from an approved reference, and download the reviewed subtitle file for use in a compatible downstream workflow.

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

  External subtitles are separate files, such as SRT, that a compatible player or editor can load. A selectable subtitle track is stored within a media container but remains distinct from the picture. Hardcoded subtitles are pixels in each frame and require OCR for extraction. Speech recognition is instead used to create subtitle text from spoken dialogue.

• 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.
