'''CaptionHub''' is an online platform for subtitling videos. It generates, edits, and previews captions within a web browser.<ref name="TomArmitage">{{Cite web |url=https://tomarmitage.com/projects/captionhub/ |title=CaptionHub Building the world's most advanced subtitling platform |access-date=2024-04-08 |website=Tom Armitage |last=Armitage |first=Tom}}</ref> |
|||
==Functions== |
|||
The platform has a real-time editor with a slippy timeline for editing and adjusting the timing of captions, mirroring the functionality found in desktop video editors. Users can export caption data in standard industry file formats or opt to render videos with captions burned in. Additionally, the platform supports the translation of original captions, allowing translators to adjust subtitle timings to accommodate language-specific changes. CaptionHub operates entirely in-browser.<ref name="TomArmitage"/> |

Neon, a London-based VFX and motion graphics studio, identified a need for a tool that could streamline the subtitle translation process, particularly for projects requiring rapid turnaround across multiple languages. The goal was to create a browser-based tool that would allow translators to work more efficiently and make decisions on text and timing independently.<ref name="TomArmitage"/> |
|||
Initial development focused on creating a prototype that met the basic requirements of translating videos and generating standard file formats for easy integration with video editing software. The prototype emphasised ease of use, with a rich editor for adjusting captions and a workflow to simplify the translation process. As the project progressed, features such as internal video encoding, audio waveform visualisation, and expanded import/export capabilities were added, transitioning the prototype into a fully functional product.<ref name="TomArmitage"/> |
|||
CaptionHub evolved into a software-as-a-service offering after the initial version. The platform was developed to support single-language captions and introduced speech-to-text transcription for automatic caption generation. This feature significantly improved the efficiency of producing original captions by providing accurate transcriptions and timing. CaptionHub continued to expand its language support and feature set, focusing on enhancing user experience and integrating with existing workflows.<ref name="TomArmitage"/> |
|||
CaptionHub, a platform specialising in localisation, subtitling, and voiceover, launched CaptionHub Live, marking a significant development in its service offerings. This launch introduced a real-time, AI-enabled, multilingual subtitling application for live streams. The live version addressed the limitations faced by existing live captioning solutions.<ref name="BroadcastNow">{{Cite web |url=https://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/tech/captionhub-launches-ai-enabled-real-time-subtitling-app/5188364.article |title=CaptionHub launches AI-enabled real-time subtitling app |date=2023-11-30 |access-date=2024-04-08 |website=[[Broadcast (magazine)|Broadcast]] |last=Bickerton |first=Jake}}</ref> |
