Curious about subtitling? Wondering how to get started—or how it actually works behind the scenes?
This JATENT seminar offers a practical, beginner-friendly introduction to spotting, the essential process of timing subtitles to match audio and video.

Whether you're a translator looking to pivot into audiovisual translation, an agency exploring subtitling services, or simply interested in how the timing of subtitles is determined, this session is for you.

This event will cover topics for both E>J and J>E translators.

In this 90-minute session, we’ll cover:

• What spotting is and why it matters in professional subtitling
  
  

• Common spotting workflows and where the translator fits in
  
  

• A comparison of two popular subtitling tools
  
  

• A live demonstration showing spotting in action
  
  

• Time for your questions and discussion
  
  

We’ll wrap up with a special announcement from JAT you won’t want to miss!
