Spanish Subtitles & Captions

Knockhundred offers a high-quality Spanish subtitling service to a variety of clients across a wide range of business sectors. In fact, we offer professional subtitling services in over 190 languages, including Spanish, for cinema, TV, online material, DVD, video, video games, computer games and corporate CD-ROMS.

We can provide captions and Spanish captioning services (including closed captions) for those people who are deaf or hard of hearing. These captions will usually contain descriptions of non-dialogue audio (such as laughter or a door slamming).

We also of course provide English subtitling services to a huge range of clients across the globe. Please refer to our languages page to see which languages we can handle.

The art of Spanish subtitling

Using subtitling software, we can provide subtitles in virtually any language including Spanish, and produce the end result in most industry-standard formats such as plain text, Word, HTML, Final Cut Pro XML, Spruce STL or Subrip (srt).

If you don't see the format you need, just ask, as we may still be able to help. The Spanish subtitlers will identify exact positions where each subtitle should appear and disappear. These markers are usually identified by precise time codes/frames dependent on the service you require.

The process of Spanish captioning

The process of captioning is much the same as for producing Spanish subtitles. The main difference is that the resulting Spanish captions will often contain descriptions of sound as well as a direct transcription of the speech.

Spanish transcription and translation for film and tv

We regularly translate film and documentary clips providing a finished transcription with time codes ready for Spanish subtitles to be created. We are more than happy to produce finished srt subtitle files if you'd prefer.

One-step media translation from video for Spanish subtitles

If your source video is in one language, for example English, and you require the subtitles to be in another, for example Spanish, our Spanish linguists will provide a direct translation into the relevant language and produce time-coded subtitles in a suitable format.

Spanish video SEO

Do you have an existing video in Spanish, or are you having one produced?  If you want consumers to find your video, please remember search engines can’t watch a video or listen to audio, but they do “understand” (and index) text.  This is why it is important to upload an aligned, accurate Spanish transcript to support your video content or to provide Spanish subtitles or captions.  This is how search engines will “hear” your video.

salen cajas y calajas
