Zoo Digital launches cloud subtitling service

The Sheffield company said ZOOsubs is a cloud-based software-as-a-service solution that supports the preparation, review and approval of subtitles for filmed and TV entertainment.

It is designed to work across all platforms, including DVD, Blu-ray, and broadcast. It also enables the conversion of subtitles from existing materials to other platforms, such as from DVD to digital media.

Stuart Green, chief executive, said: “We’ve been delighted with the initial response to this new software as a service.

“The fact that it was demand led is a further endorsement of the quality and efficiency of our existing workflow automation tools and of their growing importance within our clients’ organisations. ZOOsubs represents the first viable alternative to the de facto labour and time intensive methods which have always been used for the management of subtitling, reducing costs for our clients and providing them with greater quality assurance.”
