How do you calculate the cost of a subtitling project?

We generally charge subtitling per minute of footage, starting from £11.00 per minute including proofreading. But even more so than with a standard translation, the rates vary depending on the content. Factors taken into consideration are:

• Language pair
• Deadline
• Volume
• Subject matter
• Sound and visual quality
• Medium (standard subtitling exports are included in the price, but we charge a small fee for delivery as burned-in subtitles)

For an accurate quote, please send us (part of) the footage. For more information please contact us.
