Konkani Subtitles & Captions

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

We can provide captions and Konkani 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 Konkani subtitling

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

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

Konkani transcription and translation for film and tv

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

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

Konkani video SEO

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

WHILE YOU’RE HERE... SOME QUITE INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT THE Konkani LANGUAGE

Konkani has close to 7.5 million native speakers spread across the western coast of the country in the states of Goa, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Kerala, and the Union territories of Daman & Diu and Dadra & Nagar Haveli. With Goa being a thriving commercial centre in the ancient times, a number of Turks and Arabs visited the place frequently. As a result, multiple Persian and Arabic words came into the Konkani language. Konkani is written in multiple scripts - Devanagari, Roman, Kannada, Malayalam and Perso-Arabic.
