Generate Accurate Subtitles for Scottish-Gaelic 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 Scottish-Gaelic subtitle extraction?

  OCR quality depends on image clarity, text size, contrast, motion and background complexity. Use OCR for Scottish Gaelic captions that are visible in the picture, then check grave accents, lenition, names and dialect vocabulary against an approved spelling reference. For spoken dialogue without picture text, choose speech recognition instead and confirm the recognition language before processing.

• Can I batch extract subtitles from multiple Scottish-Gaelic videos?

  Weydub can support batch workflows for multiple videos. Before submitting a batch, separate files needing OCR from those needing speech recognition because visible hardcoded captions and spoken dialogue require different inputs. After processing, review each subtitle file for names, English code-switching, grave accents and terminology rather than assuming one correction applies consistently across every recording.

• How do I proofread and edit Scottish-Gaelic subtitles?

  Compare every cue with the audio or visible source text, then correct grave accents, lenition, contractions, names and English code-switching. Keep genuine dialect vocabulary instead of replacing it with Irish forms or automatic normalization. Adjust timing and line breaks so prepositional or verbal phrases remain coherent, and use an approved spelling reference when unfamiliar forms need verification.

• 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 see which recognition languages are available for your files. Select the language actually spoken rather than a nearby Gaelic variety. For mixed Scottish Gaelic and English dialogue, verify code-switched passages manually, then review cue timing, names and terminology. Language selection guides recognition, but it does not replace proofreading or normalize Gaelic varieties automatically.

• Is there a video length limit for Scottish-Gaelic videos?

  Check the current upload requirements before submitting a Scottish Gaelic video, because accepted conditions can depend on the active workflow. For a long recording, confirm that the complete file was processed and inspect transitions between subtitle cues. If using a batch workflow, verify each file separately and download the reviewed subtitle outputs needed for delivery.

• How can I style Scottish-Gaelic subtitles after generation?

  First download and review the subtitle file, then apply fonts, size, color and placement in a compatible downstream editor or player. Choose a font that renders Scottish Gaelic grave accents correctly. Recheck line breaks after styling, since larger text or narrower caption areas can split names, contractions, or connected verbal and prepositional phrases awkwardly.

• How do I extract hardcoded Scottish-Gaelic subtitles?

  Choose OCR when Scottish Gaelic subtitles are hardcoded into the video picture, then submit the video and review the extracted cues. Check low-contrast text, motion, overlapping graphics and rapid caption changes carefully. Correct grave accents, names and unfamiliar dialect forms, adjust timing where needed, and download the reviewed subtitle file for the next production step.

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

  External subtitles are separate files, such as SRT, that a player or editor can load. A selectable subtitle track is stored within the media container but remains distinct from the picture. Hardcoded subtitles are visible pixels in each frame, so extracting their text requires OCR. Speech recognition instead creates cues from spoken audio when no source captions exist.

• 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.
