Subtitling
You are...
someone with video content who wants to access the Polish audience, increase the comprehension of your content or leverage it for marketing purposes.
I am...
a subtitler with professional software and training who will make your subtitles the most enjoyable for your viewers to help you attract new audiences and make sure they watch your videos till the end.
I can make subtitles for your videos for:
- advertising,
- educational,
- and entertainment purposes.
Why do we need subtitling?
Comprehension
If someone doesn’t know the language of your video, they won’t watch it, because they won’t understand anything. To access new audiences you need to speak their language. Investing in subtitles is the cheapest form of film translation.
Sound off
Research shows that 69% of people view videos with the sound off in public spaces and 25% do this in private places too. Without subtitles, they won’t watch your video or will only understand the visual layer of it.
Accessibility
Subtitling will also make your content accessible to the Deaf and the Hard of Hearing community. To fully embrace them choose closed captions (SDH) containing descriptions of sounds and other non-language acoustic information.
Subtitling guidelines
I can tailor the subtitles to your requirements or if you have no idea about subtitling, I will use the guidelines that research showed produced the best experience for viewers.
Subtitling will help you...
Access new audiences
Improve the understanding of your content.
Make your videos accessible to people with impaired hearing and people who prefer to watch videos with the sound off.
Pricing
Subtitling rates start at 6.50 USD/EUR per video minute. The rate depends on the difficulty of the subject of the movie (an adventure movie vs. a video tutorial on nuclear fusion) and the amount of spoken text in the movie (webinars vs. a sci-fi TV show). Prices don’t include taxes (if applicable).

Frequently Asked Questions
With anyone! Both direct clients and LSPs are welcome, as long as the projects are up my alley (localization, marketing, content writing, subtitling) and in my working languages (English/German → Polish).
Because I’m giving you an opportunity to gain access to a new market, which will bring you more clients and more money. I also spent the last 6 years educating myself and gaining experience in localization, translation, and copywriting, so you could get the best results possible. Also because my work depends largely on my mental and creative capacities, I can’t be working 2 jobs because the quality of what I do would be poor, and I respect myself and my clients too much to charge for something I’m not satisfied with.
I check my inbox a few times a day (Mon-Fri, 9-5, CET), so you should get a response the next working day at the latest.
We discuss your desired timeframe together and I’ll deliver the project within the deadline. If I won’t be available, I won’t accept the order, and I’ll try to redirect you to a fellow specialist.
MemoQ, CrowdIn, EZTitles. I also know how to work with all free online CAT tools (like MateCat) and know how to use Ooona and SDL Trados (no active licenses).
My language pair is English/German into Polish.
I always adjust my work to your guidelines and if you have no idea how you want a certain project to be done (because for example you have no idea about subtitling), I’ll use industry best practices.
