Wiitrans AI Professional Subtitling: WiiSub AI Media Localization System
As a technology-driven language service provider, Wiitrans has developed a range of solutions over the years, including an intelligent semantic matching system, the WiiCAT online translation tool, the WiiTM language asset management system, and the WiiConnector agile localization solution. By tapping our experience in subtitling, AI natural language processing technologies, and big data, Wiitrans has now rolled out a new online AI media localization system, WiiSub, which also makes use of our proprietary translation engine WiiMT. Utilizing advanced technologies allows WiiSub to automate transcription, time-coding, and drafting. Our professional team comes next in the workflow, a process that improves productivity, turnaround times, and cost-savings. This enables us to provide more producers and distributors of video content with efficient, convenient, and affordable localization services.

What Can WiiSub Do for You?
Compared with the traditional approach, WiiSub is more efficient and lowers subtitling costs. AI Transcription In the event that the source script for a video is unavailable, WiiSub’s robust AI voice recognition technology transcribes audio information into text format quickly and accurately. The automated transcription can be completed in one-twentieth of the usual time. Time-Coding Traditionally, creating time stamps for subtitles takes significant time. However, WiiSub’s natural language processing technology inserts time codes by identifying when the speaker pauses, processing the time information much more efficiently. Subtitling Engine (WiiMT) The transcription or source script can be quickly translated with WiiMT, a proprietary neural network machine translation engine that has been integrated with WiiSub. Unlike other translation engines in the market, WiiMT has been specifically trained with tens of millions of sentence pairs from TV programs and movies, variety shows, documentaries, and other media content. Such training of the engine on the corpus over an extended period of time results in higher-quality translations, not to mention better-than-average translation results and a five-fold increase in efficiency over the manual process. WiiSub also features an online subtitling termbase and collaborative translation memory, which ensure the accuracy of translated terminology and frequently used words right from the draft.

Error Checker Based on style guidelines for the video content, WiiSub can perform customized checks and specify where errors occur. Automating the review of the number of lines in a shot, character limitations, reading speed, numbers, high-frequency words, and punctuation minimizes the risk of human error, ensuring consistent and accurate subtitles. Export Formats WiiSub can process .avi, .mp4, .flv, .rmvb, .f4v, and other files in mainstream audio formats. To satisfy various requirements from our clients, the exported files can display the final subtitles alone, or together with the source in a top or down layout. And WiiSub exports frequently used subtitle formats, such as SRT, ASS, or SSA, with just one single click. Works With the Project Management Platform WiiSub is also seamlessly integrated with the Wiitrans project management cloud platform. This allows the linguist team to collaborate in real time and the project manager to maintain oversight over each stage of the project, further enhancing delivery capabilities and efficiency.
