Generate Accurate Subtitles for Tongan 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 Tongan video subtitle extraction?

  OCR reads Tongan text already visible in video frames, while speech recognition transcribes spoken audio. Results depend on image clarity, text size, contrast, and spelling. Review the extracted text carefully, preserving the glottal marker and vowel-length marks rather than replacing them with approximate English characters.

• Can I batch extract subtitles from multiple Tongan videos?

  Weydub can support batch workflows. Group videos that need the same recognition method, then choose OCR for visible picture text or speech recognition for spoken Tongan. Review each result separately because recording quality, hardcoded caption placement, mixed Tongan-English speech, and personal or place names may vary between videos.

• How do I proofread and edit Tongan subtitles?

  Compare each subtitle with the audio and correct text, timing, and line breaks. Preserve the glottal marker and vowel-length marks under the approved spelling convention. Check respectful vocabulary, particles, personal names, and place names in phrase context, especially where speakers switch between Tongan and English. Confirm that every glyph displays correctly.

• 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 for the available source-language recognition options. Choose the language actually spoken rather than an approximate substitute, and review mixed-language passages manually. For Tongan, align each subtitle with complete connected phrases where possible, then adjust timing and line breaks without splitting words or separating short particles from their phrase context.

• Is there a video length limit for Tongan videos?

  Check the current upload requirements before submitting a Tongan video, since supported conditions can vary by workflow. For a long recording, divide work at natural scene or topic boundaries if needed, keep the segments in order, and review subtitle timing around every boundary so connected speech is not omitted or duplicated.

• How can I style Tongan subtitles after generation?

  First review and download the subtitle file, then apply fonts, size, color, position, and other presentation choices in a compatible downstream editor or player. Select a font that renders the Tongan glottal marker and vowel-length marks correctly. Recheck line breaks after styling because larger text can change readability or crowd the frame.

• How do I extract hardcoded Tongan subtitles?

  Choose OCR when the Tongan subtitles are hardcoded into the picture, then select the caption region and submit the video. Review extracted lines against the frames, especially where text overlaps bright, moving, or low-contrast backgrounds. Correct spelling marks, names, line breaks, and timing before downloading the external subtitle file.

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

  External subtitles are separate files, while a selectable subtitle track is stored with the media but can usually be turned on or off. Hardcoded subtitles are pixels in the video image and require OCR to recover their text. After extraction, review wording and timing; embedding the downloaded subtitle file into video is 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.
