Audio Video Translation
Pictures say more than words.
And the combination of image and sound makes for an even more powerful expression.
Using the unique experience of our international team, Absolute Translations guarantees the cultural authenticity, tone, and accuracy of the translated audio, specific to each language.
We recognise that translating the spoken word requires a different approach to written content. Script translations are customised for subtitling or voice-over recording and will maintain the key messages, duration, and character of your campaign.
Our experienced team uses the finest equipment to ensure the highest quality possible. No matter the project — video games, VR audio, or anything else — we make sure each and every step of the process is precisely executed and finished to the highest quality.
Our Audio & Video Translation services ensure that every spoken detail is accurately conveyed
Audio and video content often carries critical information, whether it’s evidence used in legal proceedings, corporate training material, or media designed for global audiences.
From NAATI-certified transcription and translation of recordings to corporate videos, interviews, and internal communications, through to broadcast media, voice-over, and
subtitling for international release, we provide translations that meet professional, regulatory, and industry standards.
Whether your goal is compliance, clarity, accessibility, or global reach, we deliver multilingual audio and video content that is ready for courtrooms, boardrooms, and worldwide audiences.
Voice-over Recordings
Simply put, a voice-over is a production technique where a voice that is not part of the original video is used in various media, such as films, television shows, commercials, video games, and more.
This voice is usually pre-recorded and then added to the content during post-production. The voices can come from actors acting in a movie, or it can be a narrator voice describing a scene, like in a documentary. Voice-over recording for a movie is also called dubbing.
Once the right voice is cast for your project, we look after the entire recording from start to finish. We offer voice-over services in any language for TV, commercials, video games, corporate videos, e-learning, and so on.
Your recordings will be produced using only the best and most experienced talents available in Australia and abroad.
Subtitling
Subtitling is the process of adding written text (subtitles) to a video to provide a representation of the dialogue and other relevant sounds. It serves purposes such as translating dialogue for viewers who speak different languages, aiding those with hearing impairments, or simply enhancing the understanding of what’s being said.
We provide subtitling services in any language for Television, DVD & Blu-ray, Web & Netflix, and Corporate Videos. For the hearing impaired, we provide closed captioning services, and for the vision impaired, audio description services.
We work with Adobe Premiere Pro and can deliver time-coded scripts in any format, such as WebVTT and SRT. SRT is the most common caption file format and can be used on social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram, but also on YouTube, Vimeo, and Adobe Presenter.
Supporting Services for Complete Audio & Video Translation
Many audio and video projects require more than translation alone: they need the right preparation, the right voices, and the right adaptation to ensure content is accurate, engaging, and ready for multilingual delivery. Our supporting services bring structure and quality to every stage of the process.
From Audio Transcription that provides a precise written record for legal, corporate, and media use, to Talent Casting that matches your project with the ideal voice for narration, character work, or corporate communication, through to Script Adaptation that reshapes dialogue for subtitling, timing, and cultural clarity, these services work together to create polished, audience-ready multilingual content.
Whether you’re preparing evidence for court, producing global training material, or releasing media across multiple markets, we ensure every element is handled with accuracy, consistency, and professional care.
Audio Transcription
The first step to audio or video translation is preparing a transcript. A transcript is used by the translator to accurately translate audio text into another language. If you have an audio file that you need translated for official purposes (NAATI), an accurate transcript will be the first step to the translation.
Creating a transcript of your audio will not only assist the translator however, it can be used to create subtitles and prepare for voice-over recording as well.
Talent Casting
From casting commercials and promotional videos to more specialised categories such as video games and VR, we select, cast, and record the best voice-over talents available worldwide. Listen to some of our voice samples or check out our portfolio below to hear what separates us from the competition.
With more than 10,000 voice actors in more than 80 languages, and based on your input, requirements, and brief, we will cast the right talent for your project.
Script Adaptation
Often requested as part of subtitling services, script adaptation ensures the script meets the cultural and linguistic requirements of foreign languages and at the same time remains faithful to the essence of the original dialogue. Our approach is meticulous and ensures authenticity and natural flow.
Before the translation process is started, the script is checked by the translation team to ensure it is suitable and is adapted where necessary.
