We are here to assist
Translation Features, documentaries, series. Our linguists translate the joke, not the words — with the reading speed, line breaks and character limits streaming platforms ask for.
Training modules, town halls, product demos. We keep your terminology consistent across every language, so a viewer in Miami and one in Berlin get the same message.
Translation Course videos, lectures, LMS content. Translated subtitles stay in sync with slides and on-screen text, so students follow the instructor, not the caption.
Subtitles Most people watch with the sound off. We translate ads, reels and YouTube subtitles that land in the first three seconds — short lines, natural phrasing.
Translation Recorded depositions, patient education, compliance training. The specialists who’ve handled our legal and medical work since the nineties now translate the subtitles too.
Our specialists review each transcript – not software. What this translates to is context being pinged, errors spotted and if there is something that seems out of place case you know who to ring.
Your video or subtitle files are uploaded to our encrypted, cloud-based platform.
We build a clean source transcript and spot every cue to the audio, line by line.
A native linguist translates, then a second reviewer checks meaning, timing and reading speed.
Your finished subtitles arrive in the format you asked for — ready to upload, no reformatting.
Our Subtitle Translation starts at USD $0.95 per audio minute, American Transcription Services offers clear, upfront pricing with no hidden fees. Our pricing model is designed for professionals who value accuracy, accountability, and consistently high-quality human transcription.
What are subtitle translation? Subtitle translation services turn the spoken dialogue in your video into timed, on-screen text in another language. Providers like American Transcription Services use native human translators to transcribe, time and translate every cue, then deliver ready-to-upload subtitle files that automated tools can’t match for readability.
Which languages and language variations do you cover? More than 100, and we match the variety to your audience: Latin American Spanish or Castilian, Brazilian or European Portuguese, Simplified or Traditional Chinese, Canadian or Parisian French, Modern Standard Arabic or a regional dialect. German, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, Tamil, Italian and Russian are everyday work here.
How much do subtitle translation cost? Pricing runs per video minute, per language, and depends on the language pair, turnaround and whether you supply a timed transcript. Common pairs like English to Spanish sit at the lower end; rare languages and overnight delivery cost more.
What subtitle file formats do you deliver? SRT, VTT, SBV, ASS/SSA, STL, SCC, DFXP/TTML and burned-in open captions. Tell us the destination — YouTube, Vimeo, a streaming platform spec, your LMS or broadcast — and we set character limits, line breaks and reading speed to match.
Do humans or AI translate my subtitles? Humans, every time. A native linguist translates and a second reviewer checks the file line by line before delivery. Machine translation misreads idiom, humour, names and industry terms, and has no sense of reading speed — which is why auto-translated subtitles look wrong to native viewers within seconds.
What is your turnaround time? Most projects are delivered in two to three business days per language, with rush options available. The date we commit to is the date your files arrive. Multiple languages run in parallel, not one after another.
Can I find subtitle translation services near me? Yes. We work with clients in every US state, so subtitle translation services near you are a file upload away. Files move through our secure platform and you can reach a specialist by phone wherever you’re based.
Are my video files kept confidential? Yes. Every file is uploaded to an encrypted, cloud-based platform, covered by NDAs and restricted access. Unreleased footage, legal recordings and patient material all fall under the same confidentiality protocols we’ve applied since 1999.
