Hindi Subtitles & Captions

Knockhundred offers a high-quality Hindi 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 Hindi, for cinema, TV, online material, DVD, video, video games, computer games and corporate CD-ROMS.

We can provide captions and Hindi 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 Hindi subtitling

Using subtitling software, we can provide subtitles in virtually any language including Hindi, 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 Hindi 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 Hindi captioning

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

Hindi transcription and translation for film and tv

We regularly translate film and documentary clips providing a finished transcription with time codes ready for Hindi 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 Hindi subtitles

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

Hindi video SEO

Do you have an existing video in Hindi, 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 Hindi transcript to support your video content or to provide Hindi subtitles or captions.  This is how search engines will “hear” your video.

Hindi SAMPLE TEXT

कलम, आज उनकी जय बोल | कविता - रामधारी सिंह दिनकर | Ramdhari Singh Dinkar
जो अगणित लघु दीप हमारे,
तूफ़ानों में एक किनारे,
जल-जलाकर बुझ गए किसी दिन,
मांगा नहीं स्नेह मुँह खोल।
कलम, आज उनकी जय बोल।

पीकर जिनकी लाल शिखाएं,
उगल रही सौ लपट दिशाएं,
जिनके सिंहनाद से सहमी,
धरती रही अभी तक डोल।
कलम, आज उनकी जय बोल।

अंधा चकाचौंध का मारा,
क्या जाने इतिहास बेचारा,
साखी हैं उनकी महिमा के,
सूर्य, चन्द्र, भूगोल, खगोल।
कलम, आज उनकी जय बोल।
