Why BRIDGES
How we differ from auto-captions
Names checked by a person
Automatic translation often gets names of people, companies and places wrong. A translator checks each one.
Consistent across a series
We fix terms and carry them forward so wording stays the same from video to video.
Ongoing channel work
We provide ongoing translation and SRT delivery for a business video channel with 4M+ subscribers.
FAQ
YouTube subtitles FAQ
Are YouTube auto-captions not enough?
Errors in names and technical terms tend to remain, so we recommend a human review for videos that need to be accurate.
How much does it cost and how long does it take?
Subtitles are JPY 1,200 per video minute, delivered in 2–4 business days for subtitles only.
Do I need to share my channel password?
No. For the upload service, grant Subtitle Editor access for subtitles, or Editor access if audio tracks are included.
Can I order just one video?
Yes. Contracts start from one video with no ongoing commitment. Orders of 10+ videos and monthly contracts are quoted individually.
