Proficient in Top Subtitling & Translation Software
Stop Relying on Embarrassing Auto-Captions
Bad subtitles confuse viewers and hurt your algorithm retention. Let a specialized Subtitle VA handle the tedious transcription, translation, and time-syncing.
Time-Syncing (Spotting)
Perfectly timing text to match speech and shot changes. We ensure subtitles don't linger too long or disappear too quickly, maintaining visual rhythm.
Idiomatic Translation
AI translates literally, which ruins jokes and context. Our VAs localize your content so metaphors and cultural references make sense to native speakers.
SRT & VTT Generation
Formatting compliant sidecar files (.srt, .vtt, .ass) that you can easily upload to YouTube, Vimeo, Netflix, or your LMS platform for closed captioning.
SDH Compliance
Creating Subtitles for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (SDH), including non-dialogue audio cues like [door slams] or [upbeat music plays] to meet accessibility standards.
Open Caption Burn-in
Need captions permanently visible for TikTok or Instagram Reels? Your VA can burn in stylized, animated captions directly onto the video file using Premiere or CapCut.
Proofreading & Formatting
Fixing grammar, enforcing character limits per line (usually 37-42 chars), and adhering to reading speed limits (CPS) so viewers can actually read the text.
Single Point of Contact
Send your video links to your PM; they assign the right native speaker and manage the delivery.
No Per-Minute Markups
Traditional agencies charge expensive per-minute rates. We simply charge for the VA's hourly work.
Centralised Tracking
Transparent time reporting ensures you know exactly how long the transcription and syncing took.
Quality Assurance
How do you QA a language you don't speak? Your PM handles internal linguistic reviews before delivery.
Scale Your Content Localization
Don't let the language barrier prevent your YouTube channel or online course from reaching international audiences.
With Sagedoer, you partner with a specialized Subtitle VA overseen by one dedicated project manager. We take over recruitment, software training, and linguistic QA—protecting your content's accuracy at absolutely no extra charge.

"We produce 3 hours of video content a week. Transcribing and syncing that in Premiere was killing my editors. Sagedoer's VA handles all the SRT creation perfectly, and the PM checks the formatting for free. Massive lifesaver."

"Translating my online courses into Spanish and French opened up a huge new revenue stream. I couldn't QA the translations myself, so having Sagedoer's Project Manager handle the linguistic review gave me total peace of mind."

"We needed burned-in captions for our TikTok and Reels clients. The VA uses CapCut to create those dynamic, animated captions you see everywhere. Bypassing Upwork fees to get this level of talent for $6/hr is incredible."

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Depending on your needs, our VAs can deliver standalone subtitle files (.SRT, .VTT) for platforms with closed captioning, or they can use editing software (like Premiere Pro or CapCut) to permanently "burn in" stylized open captions for social media.
We maintain a large internal pool of multilingual VAs. Common pairings include English to Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, and Italian. Let your Project Manager know your target languages during Phase 1, and we will match you with the appropriate native or bilingual talent.
No. Sagedoer's pricing model is entirely based on the VA's logged working hours ($6-$7/hr). Standard setup, workflow integration, and linguistic QA management from the Project Manager are completely free.
Instead of traditional "per-video-minute" pricing (which can be very expensive), we track the actual time the VA spends transcribing, translating, and syncing the file. You receive transparent shift reports detailing exactly how long the task took.
