Generate Accurate Subtitles for UC-Video 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 a UC Video clip?

  Use OCR when captions or other required text are burned into the video image. Use speech recognition when you need subtitles from the spoken summary. For UC Video clips containing both, compare the results and keep publisher title cards separate from dialogue cues so headline text is not mistaken for narration.

• How do I handle title cards and existing captions?

  Identify each visible text layer before generating subtitles. Treat a publisher title card as an overlay, not a spoken cue, unless the same words are actually narrated. Use OCR for required hardcoded captions, then review overlaps and line breaks so generated dialogue does not cover the title overlay or duplicate existing captions.

• How should regional place names be checked?

  Compare regional place names, personal names, and organization names with an approved source such as the publisher's script or supplied reference list. Speech recognition may produce plausible but incorrect spellings. Apply the verified spelling consistently, while preserving the wording actually spoken in the clip rather than expanding it with unsupported context.

• 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 cues be retimed for an excerpted report?

  Review the excerpt from its new starting frame rather than relying on timing from the longer report. Move cue boundaries to match the audible speech, remove cues for omitted material, and check the final spoken phrase. Keep cues readable without obscuring title cards that remain visible at the excerpt's beginning or end.

• Can I batch extract subtitles from multiple UC Video videos?

  Weydub can support batch workflows for supplied UC Video clips. Group clips with similar recognition needs, but review each result separately because title cards, existing captions, audio quality, and regional names can differ. Confirm the current upload requirements before submitting a batch, and keep approved terminology available for consistent corrections.

• How do I review subtitle timing and line breaks?

  Play the clip while checking that each cue begins and ends with the relevant speech. Split long lines at natural phrase boundaries, keep names together where practical, and avoid placing a brief headline in the dialogue track. Also inspect consecutive cues for gaps, overlaps, and abrupt changes that make a short summary difficult to follow.

• What is the difference between hardcoded and external subtitles?

  Hardcoded subtitles are visible pixels within the video image and may require OCR to recover their text. An external subtitle file stores editable text and timing separately. A selectable subtitle track inside a media container is also different from picture text. Inspect the source first, because each form requires a different extraction or generation approach.

• What should I download after reviewing UC Video subtitles?

  Download the reviewed subtitle output in an available format suited to the next step. Check that the file contains the corrected names, final cue timing, and intended line breaks. If captions must appear permanently in the picture, use the downloaded subtitle file in a downstream editing step to embed them into the video.

• 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.
