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 OCR differ from speech recognition for creator videos?

  Speech recognition follows spoken audio, while OCR reads visible text in the video. For creator footage, speech recognition usually handles informal dialogue, while OCR can capture signs, labels, or existing captions. Review both results when visible wording and spoken wording differ, because quick scene changes may make it unclear which text belongs in the final subtitle output.

• How should creators check personal names in subtitles?

  Personal names need deliberate review after subtitle generation. Informal speech can make a name sound like a common word, and recognition may not preserve the intended spelling. Compare each name with the audio and visible context, then use the same spelling wherever it appears. This keeps references to people clear across fast-moving creator scenes.

• How do quick scene changes affect subtitle timing?

  Quick scene changes can make readable subtitles feel detached from the speaker or action. Check each caption against the audio and the cut, especially when a sentence continues across shots. Adjust timing so the text follows the spoken phrase without covering a new visual moment. This matters in creator clips with rapid edits or changing speakers.

• 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.

• When should creators use hardcoded or external subtitles?

  Hardcoded subtitles become part of the video image, so they remain visible during playback and cannot be switched off. External subtitles stay separate and can be handled as a subtitle track when the delivery workflow supports that format. Choose according to the intended use, then check text placement, timing, and readability in the creator's viewing context.

• How can line breaks preserve informal creator speech?

  Line breaks should follow natural phrasing instead of splitting names, short expressions, or closely connected words. Informal creator speech often includes fragments and quick turns, so forcing long lines into one block can reduce readability. Review each caption for balanced lines, clear speaker changes, and wording that still sounds like the original conversation.

• How should creators review subtitles after generation?

  Review generated subtitles against the full video, not only the transcript. Listen for informal phrases, verify personal names, check timing around cuts, and inspect line breaks. Also look for captions that appear during the wrong speaker's turn or obscure important visuals. A scene-by-scene pass helps catch recognition and layout issues before downloading the output.

• How can terminology stay consistent in creator captions?

  Create a short terminology list for names, recurring phrases, products, or community expressions before reviewing the output. Compare repeated terms across scenes and correct variations that change meaning or recognition. This helps when informal speech includes shortened words or niche references. Consistent wording makes the creator's voice easier to follow without flattening its character.

• What should creators confirm before downloading subtitles?

  Before downloading, confirm that the selected output contains the intended subtitle treatment and that captions align with the video. Check names, wording, timing, line breaks, and placement at scene changes. If subtitles are embedded, inspect the rendered frames; if they remain separate, verify the accompanying track or file. Download only after this review fits the intended delivery workflow.

• 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.
