SubCircleAI subtitle workflows for studios & localization teams
Translate, review, QC and deliver broadcast-ready subtitles — designed around real OTT operations, not generic AI output.
Subtitle translation built around real subtitle work.
CPL, CPS, segmentation, dual speakers, italics — every workflow fits how subtitle teams actually operate at scale.
No spreadsheet chaos. No broken structures.
Context-aware translation
Understands flow, tone, and speaker continuity across long-form episodes.
Subtitle-safe formatting
Preserves timestamps, line breaks, italics and speaker formatting automatically.
Broadcast-aware output
Tuned to subtitle readability standards used across OTT and broadcast.
Human-review ready
AI outputs designed for fast reviewer correction — not endless cleanup.
Hundreds of files. One run.
Parallel batch processing with per-file QC gating, auto-retry on critical failures, and live progress visibility across the entire queue.
Locked timecodes. Subtitle-safe edits.
Inline editor with CPL / CPS guards, timecode locks, side-by-side diff, and selective re-translate so reviewers fix only what needs fixing.
Style decisions, codified once.
42-tag QC taxonomy plus your own glossary, regex rules, and language-specific overrides — applied automatically to every job.
9 AI models. Pick by language.
Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek and more — assign the best model per language pair, with per-model cost and quality benchmarks built in.
Built for reviewers tired of fixing AI output.
Most AI tools stop at translation. SubCircle continues through the operational layer your team lives in.
Real localization work starts after translation.
Faster review cycles
Cleaner first-pass outputs reduce correction time during QC.
Operational visibility
Track progress, status, and reviewer activity in one place.
Multi-stage workflow
Translation, review, QC, corrections and delivery — structured end-to-end.
Centralized corrections
Reviewer feedback and QC notes stay connected to the source file.
Polish vendor-sent English. Broadcast-ready output.
Standardize subtitle language across distributed vendor pipelines — correct phrasing, normalize flow, and preserve intent and timing.
Multi-language dubbing targets — shipping next.
Project dashboard
Every episode, every AI pass, every low-confidence line in one view.
Role-based queues
Reviewers and approvers see only the work they own.
Regenerate with hints
Add a one-liner hint and the AI regenerates using prior edits as examples.
42-tag QC taxonomy
Flags emotion loss, naturalness, CPL/CPS and awkward phrasing automatically.
Episode-level pipelines.
Multi-episode projects with status tracking, vendor handoff, low-confidence flagging and reviewer queues — built for distributed dubbing operations.
Original vs polished, side by side.
Per-line diff view, approval queues, and PDF exports — every reviewer decision is traceable, every output broadcast-ready.
Every file, every dollar,
fully accounted for.
SubCircle is the only tool in your stack that doubles as your translation P&L. Live USD→INR conversion, per-model cost breakdowns, and an audit-ready history for every job you've ever run.
Operations meets finance — in one cockpit.
Full audit history.
Filterable by status, model, language pair. Re-open any job in the editor, re-download the SRT, or re-compare against any prior pass.
Live cost tracking.
Daily / weekly / monthly / yearly spend, cost-by-model donut, live API-key balance and USD↔INR conversion — finance-grade visibility, built-in.
