Adding instant subtitles to English live broadcasts
JCOM Co., Ltd. broadcasts the annual Asakusa Samba Carnival live in English. Since the stream targets an international audience, the production team needed reliable real-time English subtitles that keep pace with live operations.
For a traditional event broadcast internationally every year, the key challenges were generating subtitles fast enough to follow the live feed and integrating caption generation seamlessly into the broadcast workflow. See also our YouTube video translation guide for subtitle basics.
Balancing broadcast quality and operational efficiency with real-time subtitles
Leveraging Felo Subtitles’ real-time caption generation, JCOM built a setup that layers subtitles onto English live broadcasts instantly. Because subtitle generation fits naturally into the broadcast workflow, the team’s preparation effort was kept low. See also the audio translation guide for translating from audio.
On the strength of these results, Felo Subtitles continues to be used as JCOM’s standard tool for international broadcasts.
