Enabling the future of the localisation industry
Students enrolled in the Translation and Localization Management program at MIIS used a range of different software platforms to transcribe, translate, QA, and publish subtitles. While the end result was the same - translated captions synced to original source video - the effort and time required was not scalable. The mix of software used also meant students were constantly having to learn additional platforms when moving between course modules, rather than building confidence and experience in one. CaptionHub was the answer for MIIS; the platform has been designed from the ground up to fully integrate and flex with our customers’ existing workflows. That means supporting a whole range of online video platforms, translation partners, approval workflows, and, of course, best in breed AI that powers transcription, translation, synthetic voiceover, and more. This ability to flex to support different workflows enables students to learn different roles, operating as a linguist, a producer, or ensuring QA.
"We always tell our students that among the traits better, faster, and cheaper, they can only pick two. With CaptionHub, I can show students how we can do things more efficiently, lower prices, and theoretically increase quality as well”

Arming the next generation of magicians
As CaptionHub is an enterprise-grade software platform trusted by some of the largest enterprises in the world, students are gaining hands-on experience that they can take with them into their careers post-graduation. Professor Troyer remarked that utilising a tool such as CaptionHub vs traditional spreadsheet-based workflows is akin to being like a magician.
