What Is Reading-Speed Optimization?
We can automatically shorten subtitles to improve readability. The amount of compression required is determined by how many characters per second (cps) a viewer can comfortably read.
- You can choose between 15, 17, or 20 cps, depending on your audience. The higher the cps, the faster the subtitles need to be read. For most general viewers, 17 cps strikes the right balance between clarity and pace. Learn more...
Why It is Ideal for Translated Subtitles
Reading-optimized subtitles in the same language can feel slightly odd. That's because, unconsciously, you end up reading the subtitles, but the text doesn't match the spoken words exactly. This is not an issue with translated subtitles, where the wording is different by nature. So slight variations are no longer noticeable or distracting.
🇳🇱 Dutch Example
As you can see, these auto-generated Dutch subtitles are awesome. That's what AI can do for you. These subtitles were created with 17 characters per second, using reading-speed optimization instead of full-text transcription.
🇸🇪 Swedish Example
These Swedish subtitles were also generated using AI. You might choose to do some post-editing to keep certain word groups together in the same subtitle. However, that is optional. All the necessary content is already included, so editing is a choice, not a must.
