Pashto Subtitles & Captions

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

We can provide captions and Pashto 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 Pashto subtitling

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

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

Pashto transcription and translation for film and tv

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

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

Pashto video SEO

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

Pashto SAMPLE TEXT

د غم فضا څه دغم فضا ده په کابل کې لور تر لوره
لوی واړه ژړا کا دي مجبور وزي له کوره
ټول دي سرسام شوي د تګ لوري ترینه ورک دي
مور یې بچیان پریښي پښېبلې پښې په سر سرتوره
د پلار مړی یې پروت دی په سرک کې بې څښتنه
نشته څوک په کور کې چې یې پورته کړي تر کوره
عقل د چا کار نکړي چې داسې صحنې ویني
غږ به د چا وانه ورې د ډزو زوژ له شوره
څه دې څه بلا ده په دوی شوې، لیونیان شول
یو دبل دښمن شول، بیزار شوی ورور له وروره
چور چپاو تالان دی، بده ورځ ده بازخواست نشته
شر فساد جوړ شوی هر سړی تښتي له زوره
ما (هاشم) لیدل چې چار چارپېره او د غرو څوکو
توپ ټوپک ګولۍ دي او خوښي نه شته ده نوره
دریمه کارته کابل (۱۱/ ۲/۱۳۷۵)
