What if I have specific custom glossaries or style guides?
Please share them and we will be happy to create your subtitles according to your specifications.
Can I create my own subtitles on Amara?
Absolutely, we offer both professional subtitles as well as a team space for you and your team to create your own subtitles. Many of our clients use a hybrid solution of On Demand, along with our Amara Platform offering, which allows them to build and manage their own team of in-house linguists. Here you will find more information on our pricing plan.
