Caption review checklist

01Review checks0/12

• Check names, brands, technical terms and numbers against the audio.
• Remove recognizer text that does not correspond to speech.
• Preserve corrections, qualifications and the meaning of each sentence.
• Start each cue when the corresponding speech starts.
• Keep cue ends after their starts and resolve accidental overlaps.
• Check reading speed; shorten text or allow more time where possible.
• Break lines at phrase boundaries rather than splitting names.
• Check the captions at the actual display size and frame shape.
• Include relevant non-speech information when the audience needs it.
• Test the exported SRT or VTT in the destination player.
• Review burned-in captions for contrast and obscured faces or graphics.
• Keep a copy of both the reviewed subtitle file and the source audio.
