Generate Accurate Subtitles for Yucatec-Maya 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 OCR for Yucatec-Maya subtitle extraction?

  OCR reads subtitle text already visible in the video image; it does not transcribe speech. Results depend on text size, contrast, motion, and background complexity, so review every cue. For Yucatec Maya, compare spelling against an approved orthography, especially vowel length, glottalization, tonal distinctions, names, and Spanish code-switching.

• Can I batch extract subtitles from multiple Yucatec-Maya videos?

  Use the batch workflow when it is available in the current upload options, and apply the appropriate recognition mode to each video. OCR is for visible picture text, while speech recognition works from audio. After processing, review each video's terminology, names, timing, and cue boundaries separately rather than assuming one correction fits the entire batch.

• How do I proofread and edit Yucatec-Maya subtitles?

  Review the generated cues against the source speech and an agreed community or institutional orthography. Correct vowel length, glottalization, and any convention used for tonal distinctions without inventing accent marks. Preserve personal and place names, retain Spanish code-switching where spoken, adjust timing around phrase boundaries, and keep meaningful word units together when changing line breaks.

• 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 language choices in the upload workflow before starting. For Yucatec Maya, also verify whether the available input workflow suits your source audio or visible subtitles; if not, use an independently prepared transcript as appropriate. Whatever language is selected, review cue timing against actual speech rather than relying only on the language label.

• Is there a video length limit for Yucatec-Maya videos?

  Check the current upload requirements before submitting a Yucatec Maya video, because accepted conditions can depend on the active workflow. If a source must be divided, split it at a clear scene or speech boundary. Keep a terminology list and orthography reference consistent across every part, then review timing where the segments begin and end.

• How can I style Yucatec-Maya subtitles after generation?

  First download and review the subtitle file, then apply fonts, size, color, position, and other presentation choices in a compatible downstream editor or player. Choose a font that displays the approved Yucatec Maya orthography correctly. Recheck line breaks so vowel sequences, glottalized forms, names, and meaningful word units remain readable rather than being split awkwardly.

• How do I extract hardcoded Yucatec-Maya subtitles?

  Choose OCR rather than speech recognition when the Yucatec Maya subtitles are burned into the video image. Define the text area if that option is available, process the video, and review the extracted cues against each frame. Correct missed characters, names, orthographic marks, timing, and line breaks before downloading the external subtitle file.

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

  External subtitles are separate files, such as SRT, that store text and timing. A selectable subtitle track is carried inside a media container but remains distinct from the picture. Hardcoded subtitles are pixels in each frame and require OCR for text extraction. Downloaded subtitle files can be corrected, then embedded or styled later in a compatible downstream editor.

• 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.
