Generate Accurate Subtitles for Thai 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 does Thai word segmentation affect subtitle lines?

  Written Thai commonly runs without spaces between individual words, so subtitle breaks should follow meaningful phrases rather than visible gaps alone. Review boundaries around particles, names, and connected expressions. A poor split can slow reading or change how a phrase is understood, even when every character has been recognized correctly.

• Should Thai subtitles use OCR or speech recognition?

  Use speech recognition to transcribe Thai dialogue from the audio. Use OCR when Thai captions, labels, or other wording already appear inside the video image. If both spoken and visible text matter, review their results separately because they may contain different content. Correct names, wording, and omissions against the corresponding audio or frame.

• How should stacked Thai marks be checked in subtitles?

  Thai characters can include vowel and tone marks positioned above or below a base character. Inspect rendered subtitles for missing marks, incorrect combinations, or marks that appear clipped by the chosen font or line height. Compare suspicious words with the source, since a small mark can distinguish spelling and meaning even when the rest looks correct.

• 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 should Thai phrase spacing be reviewed?

  Thai spaces may separate phrases or larger units rather than every individual word. Review spacing in the complete caption and avoid inserting spaces between all recognized words. Preserve breaks that support natural reading, while checking that consecutive subtitle lines do not make one phrase appear artificially divided or visually fragmented.

• How can I check timing for fast Thai dialogue?

  Play each caption with the source audio and check whether it appears with the matching spoken phrase. Fast exchanges, short particles, pauses, and overlapping speakers can make timing boundaries unclear. Adjust caption start and end points where needed, while keeping enough context on screen for readers to understand the complete Thai phrase.

• How should Thai names and borrowed terms be reviewed?

  Compare Thai names, place names, brand terms, and borrowed words with the audio, visible source text, or an approved reference. Recognition may return plausible wording that is still the wrong proper noun. Apply the selected spelling consistently throughout the subtitle track, then replay each occurrence to confirm that the correction matches its context.

• Should Thai subtitles be hardcoded or kept external?

  Choose hardcoded subtitles when the Thai text must remain part of the video image. Choose an external subtitle file when captions need to remain separate for compatible playback or later revision. Before downloading, verify that characters, timing, line breaks, and placement are preserved in the selected output and suit the intended delivery workflow.

• What should a final Thai subtitle review cover?

  Watch the complete video rather than checking isolated captions only. Compare subtitle wording with the audio, inspect Thai marks and names, and confirm that phrase boundaries remain readable across consecutive lines. Also check captions created from visible text against their original frames. Correct any timing, omission, or layout issue before downloading the output.

• 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.
