Make spoken content readable
Subtitles are timed captions that show the narration of a training video on screen, with your product names spelled right and lines broken at natural phrases. Bilingual trainers and store managers use them where staff read better than they hear, on a loud floor or in a break room. Elvina times captions from a transcript a person has read and applies your glossary. Training videos and their translation into more than 100 languages are available now. Sounds the procedure depends on, such as an alarm, get a caption too.

Who this is for, and when
A bilingual trainer at a grocery chain is releasing a produce handling video to stores where half the staff find written English easier to understand than spoken English on a noisy store floor. The automatic transcript spelled the brand of the sanitizer wrong and broke lines mid-phrase. She needs captions that follow the narration, use the right product names and read comfortably on a break-room screen.
How it works in Elvina
Captions follow the narration with corrected product names and readable line breaks.
- The trainer opens the reviewed transcript for the video in Creation Studio and attaches the product glossary from Company Knowledge.
- Elvina times each caption to the narration, applies the glossary spellings, and breaks lines at natural phrase boundaries.
- She plays the video with captions at break-room screen size and checks reading speed on the fast-spoken temperature section.
- She adds a caption for the cooler alarm sound that matters to the procedure and publishes the captioned version to the Learning Platform.
A worked example
A fictional grocer, Green Harvest Markets, runs a 7-minute video called Produce-Cooler-Basics for 400 associates across 22 stores. The glossary lists the sanitizer brand, the cooler model name and the phrase 'first in, first out'. The narration was recorded by the produce director.
- All 118 captions follow the narration within a fraction of a second, with the sanitizer name spelled per the glossary.
- Three captions in the temperature section were split so learners have time to read them.
- The cooler alarm now appears as a bracketed caption, since the next step depends on hearing it.
What to check before relying on it
Check timing, reading speed and meaningful non-speech sounds. Automatic transcription needs review before release.
- Captions appear and disappear in step with the words being spoken.
- Product, tool and location names match the glossary in Company Knowledge.
- Reading speed stays comfortable on the slowest screen learners actually use.
- Meaningful non-speech sounds, like alarms or timers, are captioned.
Where a person stays in charge
Automatic transcription hears sounds, not meaning; it will confidently write the wrong product name unless a glossary and a reviewer correct it. Elvina times and formats captions from a transcript a person has already read. Captions are not a translation, and a captioned lesson still needs its content owner's approval before release.
Who this is not for, and when another tool fits
This is not the right fit if
- You need live captions for a meeting or an event.
- Nobody will read the automatic transcript before captions are made.
- The video has no narration, only on-screen text.
Another kind of tool may fit better
- A live captioning service, for meetings and events as they happen.
- A professional translator, when captions carry legal or contract wording.
