Voice-Over
Voice plays a critical role in regulatory compliance, human resources training, eLearning, sales, technical support, voicemail phone menus, etc. Voiceover is rapidly becoming the most important medium for getting products remembered and noticed. Precise spoken-word brand messaging is critical to effective market penetration.
HTT offers native speaking voice-over in a variety of foreign languages and media such as radio commercials, audio narration of company documents and audio books, documentaries, e-learning and software programs, voicemail, podcasts, phone prompts and messages, apps, training videos and website audio, among others. The service could be provided on-site commentary at your location by request, or perform in professional recording studios.
Subtitling
Subtitling is the most popular audiovisual translation mode in the world. The purpose of subtitles is to deliver and convey the original information of the soundtrack to the audiences with its distinctive colloquial, time-and-space-limited and culture-specific features. Generally speaking, subtitles are considerably easier to handle through machine translation (MT). However, it seems difficult to expect MT output to automatically identify these three key factors and then deliver a suitable translation.
Today’s subtitling can include voice recognition software; automatic import and splitting of dialogue lists or scripts into subtitles; automatic timing of subtitles in blocks; and automatic retiming of subtitle files to match a different video standard or cut. However, there is widespread recognition that a human subtitler input is still crucial.
To HTT, subtitling is an art that requires professionals with an outstanding command of both languages involved in the process, and also an extensive training in the technical aspects required in the timing and condensing of content.
