Subtitle service – Video subtitles
In a digital world, the importance of video content is growing
In the fast-paced Internet age, sharp and fast content - or alternatively, in-depth and detailed videos - are an effective way to convey information. Localisation into the spoken language is often necessary, but subtitling is still needed alongside and as an alternative.
Subtitling is practically a necessity for a foreign language video, even if the target audience has a basic knowledge of the language. For example, even in the Nordic countries, English-language videos should be subtitled, even if the average population has a reasonable command of the language, since in practice a large proportion of people cannot follow an English-language video fluently without subtitles.
Suomen Tulkkauspalvelu Oy offers subtitling services in many different languages. Our service enables diverse content to be accessible to different audiences. The subtitling supports language skills and helps the content of the videos to be understood clearly and easily by different language groups. High-quality subtitling increases the diversity of the viewer experience and makes content more accessible to a wide audience.
Special groups and accessibility
In terms of accessibility, subtitling is practically mandatory, as people with hearing impairments need subtitles to understand the content of the video. Videos are also often watched in public places, for example on a mobile device, and it may not be possible or desirable to hear sound in order to follow the video. Search engines are also better able to read the content of the video from the subtitle file, which improves the searchability of video content on websites.
In addition, subtitling enables effective information sharing on social media, where audio is not always available.
Ten reasons why you should subtitle your video
- Accessibility for people with hearing and language difficulties.
- Helps in situations where the use of sound is not possible, such as in noisy environments or public transport.
- Improves the comprehensibility of content despite background noise.
- Facilitate understanding of a non-native language.

- Clarifies the message of the videos and makes the content easier to understand.
- Enables understanding of non-verbal communication by describing events.
- Improve search engine visibility and increase engagement on social media.
- Provides an alternative for silent or deaf viewers.
- Promote diverse and inclusive communication to different audiences.
