Topic: Beginner puzzled by price of subtitling software in relation to rates
Poster: Michael Beijer
Hi everyone. Most of my present work consists of either translation or glossary creation, but I would like to start doing subtitling as well (because it looks fun). So I did a little research into the software that I would need to have and be able to use and was a little surprised to discover that it all seems rather expensive. This seems especially strange because I was under the impression that rates for subtitling are relatively low (or so people say in the forums).
Here is a list of programs I was told that are used:
Swift
EZTitles
Spot
WinCAPS
Poliscript
Can anyone comment on exactly which software people generally use, and for what? Are there cheaper ways of getting into subtitling?
