Generate Accurate Subtitles for Taobao 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 I use OCR or speech recognition for Taobao clips?

  Use OCR for text visible in the video image, such as product labels, measurements, variant names, or shopping overlays. Use speech recognition for the seller's spoken explanation. When both appear, compare the results rather than merging them automatically, because a changing promotional overlay may not match the spoken offer or its conditions.

• How do I extract hardcoded subtitles from a Taobao video?

  Choose OCR for subtitles that are burned into the video image, then review the extracted text and timing. Do not confuse hardcoded subtitles with an embedded selectable subtitle track or an external subtitle file. Check frames containing dense shopping overlays, because product labels and promotional text can be mistaken for dialogue captions.

• How should product variants be written in Taobao subtitles?

  Verify model names, colors, sizes, materials, and variant distinctions against the seller's approved source information. Keep similar variants consistently named throughout the subtitle file, especially when speech uses shortened labels. Do not infer a product identity from its appearance, and preserve qualifiers that distinguish one option from another.

• 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.

• How do I subtitle measurements in product demonstrations?

  Transcribe each measurement as spoken or visibly shown, then compare it with the seller's approved source information. Keep units attached to their values and use consistent notation across the demonstration. Pay particular attention when the presenter compares two sizes, since dropping a unit, decimal, or negation can change the product claim.

• How should changing promotional overlays be handled?

  Treat changing promotional overlays as separate visible text, not automatically as part of the seller's spoken offer. Preserve conditions and negation when they are relevant, but verify the wording against approved source information. During review, check transitions carefully so an expired overlay is not carried into later subtitle cues.

• How should Taobao subtitle timing follow demonstrations?

  Align cues with the spoken explanation and the product action being demonstrated. Avoid leaving a variant name or measurement onscreen after the presenter has moved to another item. Split long cues at natural speech boundaries, and review rapid comparisons frame by frame so captions do not imply that one statement describes the wrong product.

• Where should line breaks appear in Taobao product captions?

  Break lines at complete phrases and keep model names, measurements, and material terms together where possible. Avoid separating a number from its unit or a negation from the phrase it modifies. Position captions so they remain readable without covering the demonstrated product, variant selector, or other information viewers need to compare options.

• Can I batch extract subtitles from multiple Taobao videos?

  Weydub can support batch workflows for multiple videos. Review each result separately because seller demonstrations may use different overlay layouts, terminology, and speaking patterns. Before downloading subtitle files, verify names, measurements, timing, line breaks, and promotional conditions. A downloaded subtitle file remains separate unless you embed captions into video during a downstream editing step.

• 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.
