Hi Max,
Thanks for sharing your knowledge! While I was able to find sufficient information on subtitling/subtitle translation, I was wondering if you could shed some light on "monolingual video captioning/subtitling (transcription + time-coding)". What would be a typical output for this type of work, i.e. how long (on average) would it take to process 30 minutes of video? Looking forward to your feedback :-)

I've been subtitling professionally for 20 years. The fastest I can transcribe and spot a non-stop talking documentary is approximately 15 minutes per minute of video . So, working flat out, 30 minutes of video would probably take me around five hours.
