What we do
Taking audio and video content into new languages
Audio and video reach audiences that documents cannot, but they are also harder to localize. The words have to fit a running time, a speaker's pacing and a screen. A literal translation that reads well on paper can be too long to say, too fast to read, or out of step with what is happening on screen.
Anuvaad handles the language side of multimedia end to end: transcription, translation written for timing, subtitles and captions, and voice-over in the languages you need. Requirements vary widely by project, so scope, timelines and the quotation are set after we review your material.
For training and e-learning teams in particular, we can keep narration, on-screen text and subtitles consistent with the localized course content.

Quality assurance
Quality and linguistic control for audio and video
Multimedia quality has a language layer and a technical layer. Both are reviewed before delivery.
Confidentiality and content handling
Client confidentiality and controlled handling of project content are considered throughout the delivery process. Specific security and data-handling requirements can be discussed during project onboarding.
Speakable, timed scripts
Translated scripts are written to be spoken naturally within the running time.
Subtitle reading speed and line length
Subtitles are checked against agreed reading-speed and line-length conventions.
Voice and accent agreed up front
Language, accent, gender and voice style are confirmed before recording, with samples where available.
Linguistic review before recording
The script is reviewed before voice talent are booked, so changes are made at the cheapest point.
Sync and timing checks
Subtitles and voice tracks are checked against the video for timing and alignment.
Audio quality checks
Recordings are reviewed for clarity, noise, levels and consistency across a series.
Consistent terminology across formats
Narration, on-screen text and subtitles use the same terms as your localized documents.
Format and specification checks
Files are verified against the delivery specification before they are sent.

FAQ
Questions buyers ask
Do you provide voice-over?
Yes. Voice-over is a service area. Language, accent, gender preference, voice style, duration and delivery format can be specified with your request, and options are confirmed based on talent availability.
What is the difference between voice-over and dubbing?
Voice-over adds a spoken translation, often over or beside the original audio. Dubbing replaces the original speech with a target-language track. We recommend the approach that suits your content and budget.
Can you deliver subtitles in a specific file format?
Subtitle and caption delivery formats are discussed during scoping so files work with your video platform or player.
What is the difference between subtitles and captions?
Subtitles translate spoken content for viewers who do not understand the language. Captions present the same language as text, often including sound cues, for accessibility and silent viewing.
Can you transcribe audio and video?
Yes. Transcription can be delivered in the source language, and can be followed by translation. Clean audio and clear speakers help accuracy.
Can you match our e-learning course content?
Yes. Narration, on-screen text and subtitles can be kept consistent with the localized course so learners get one coherent experience.
Which languages and voices are available?
Voice talent availability differs by language, accent and gender. Share your requirements and we will confirm options during scoping.
How is a multimedia project quoted?
Requirements vary widely, so scope, timelines and the quotation are set after we review your material. We do not publish fixed prices.
Have video or audio to take global?
Share your media and target languages. We'll recommend subtitles, captions or voice-over and quote it for your project.
