“A great communicator, thorough, reliable and a brilliant linguist”
Video content has taken over the world, and with that, the need for subtitles has soared. Be it online tutorials, conference talks, museum video guides, social media content or TV shows, subtitles have become our everyday companions.
But not just any subtitles will do. Subtitles need to flow well, feel natural and meet certain technical requirements (spotting, character limits, line breaks, shot changes, and more) if they’re going to enhance the viewing experience, rather than detracting or distracting from it.
I offer English subtitles for English videos, and Polish subtitles for Polish ones, to make your audiovisual content more accessible to your viewers.
And I can also provide audiovisual translation into English or Polish for your Spanish or French videos, to open up your videos to a much wider audience with fluid, authentic subtitles.
SDH is subtitling taken one step further. It’s the art of communicating all aspects of a film, video or programme’s audio so that a person who’s d/Deaf or hard of hearing, or simply someone watching with the volume turned down, never misses a detail.
From making it clear who’s speaking when, to communicating any plot-relevant sounds and music, creating captions or SDH is all about making your audiovisual content more accessible.
Having put so much effort into your project, don’t let the subtitles be what lets it down. Trust in my years of experience creating accurate SDH captions.

Audio description (or AD) is a narrative inserted between the dialogue of films and TV shows, allowing blind and low-vision audiences to enjoy them. It helps them get the feel of each scene, find out how characters look and discover what’s happening on screen.
I completed an in-depth AVT Masterclass course on this in 2024, and have since been offering my services to clients of all shapes and sizes:

Sometimes audio or video files might need to be transformed into a written piece. They might be clinical trials, interviews, or podcasts, containing information that needs to be processed, or is going to be repurposed in a written format.
Whether you need me to transcribe your English or Polish files directly into the same language, or transcribe the file and then translate it, I’m efficient, accurate, detail-oriented, and here to take these time-consuming tasks off your plate, making your life easier.
Need your transcribed files delivered in a different language? I can recommend a colleague.
Anything you’re not sure about? You might find the answer here.
For me, inclusive language is a way of communicating without offending anyone, using harmful stereotypes or making vulnerable groups invisible. You can read more about it on my inclusion and diversity page.
If you’re releasing video content into the world, you never know who might see it, so taking an inclusive approach is always the best policy.
I tend to notice such phrasing or terminology that could cause offence and propose more inclusive solutions, always respecting the original, and collaborating closely with you to produce the best results.
No matter how small a project may seem, every job brings time-consuming admin tasks with it. My minimum fee also reflects the time and money I’ve invested in my business over the years, and the expertise required to deliver top-quality subtitles.
I’ve spent years training to become an audiovisual translator and subtitler, and studying to add transcription and audio description to my services. And it doesn’t stop there. I consistently devote time to my professional development, and I pride myself on maintaining the highest standards, on every project.
Subtitling, transcription and audio description jobs are generally charged by the minute.
Unfortunately, it’s impossible to give you an idea of the price without seeing your files first. Some videos are far more speech-heavy than others, and for audiovisual translation, my rates will also depend on whether or not you’re providing a template or need the subtitles created from scratch.
I’ll always ask to see your files before providing a quote, not only to make sure it reflects the time and expertise required, but also to guarantee it’s fair to you.
