What to check in your trial

Check the speech-to-text dependencies for your platform and verify timing on the finished timeline.

  1. Start with a representative video and include a difficult name, a speaker change and a section with fast speech.
  2. Read the transcript and watch the captions separately. Check timing, line breaks, translation and whether shortened clips retain the intended context.
  3. Export into your final editing or publishing tool. Confirm subtitle format, video resolution, watermarks and the options available to collaborators.
