Sofia International Literary Festival calls on SubtitleNEXT again to deliver live subtitling

/in

For immediate release – 12 December 2024, Sofia, Bulgaria – The prestigious Sofia International Literary Festival has invited Profuz Digital, for a second year running, to provide live subtitling support using SubtitleNEXT. The festival which takes place this week at the National Palace of Culture in Bulgaria’s capital city, runs until 15th December, offering easy access to selected events, owing to SubtitleNEXT’s platform.

Key speaker sessions feature contemporary poets and novelists representing Bulgaria’s high calibre of literary talent on the international stage, some of which include writer Paulina Georgieva and author Georgi Gospodinov illustrating the global face of Bulgarian literature. Georgi’s novel Time Shelter received the 2023 International Booker Prize, shared with translator Angela Rodel, including the Strega European Prize. The Physics of Sorrow received the Jan Michalski Prize and the Angelus Award. His works have been translated into 25 languages. During the event, screens placed in position show subtitles that are automatically generated in real time to reproduce the exact words spoken on stage using SubtitleNEXT’s technology.

Attaining its recognition as a reliable live events transcription and translation tool, SubtitleNEXT plays an important role in bringing audiences together. SubtitleNEXT is not only beneficial for hearing impaired people but is also helpful for everyone. When attending forums at live events, background noise and acoustics can muffle sound and what is being said. This is where SubtitleNEXT steps in to make things easier so that no one has to worry about missing a word.

“SubtitleNEXT continues to make its mark in the live events sector, proving its worth as a useful and affordable tool that event organisers can rely on for live transcription,” remarks Profuz Digital CEO Ivanka Vassileva, “We feel privileged to once again be approached to help the Sofia International Literary Festival with the honour of making their high profile event even more inclusive. At Profuz Digital, we support projects that contribute positively to society, and we feel proud to have our software platforms associated with great organisations and events in our home city and abroad.”

Stating on social media sites in Bulgarian language, the Sofia International Literary Festival announced, “Profuz Digital has over 30 years of experience in the media industry. Through the development of SubtitleNEXT, the team combines their knowledge and skills to create the most powerful subtitling solutions. We thank the company’s CEO Mrs Ivanka Vassileva for her cooperation!”

The Sofia International Literary Festival launched in 2013 and is organised by the Bulgarian Book Association with the support of the Bulgarian Ministry of Culture, where it plays a major role in the municipality’s cultural events calendar.

Bulgarian Fund for Women made accessible using SubtitleNEXT to transform spoken language into text in real time at 20th Anniversary conference in Sofia

/in

For immediate release – 26 November 2024, Sofia, Bulgaria – Profuz Digital recently sponsored the Bulgarian Fund for Women’s 20th Anniversary event by donating their SubtitleNEXT platform which provided free live subtitling support. The conference took place on 14 November 2024 at the Grand Astoria Hotel in Sofia, hosting 3 main panels with participants from various NGOs and experts from Bulgaria and abroad.

As a beacon of corporate responsibility in Bulgaria, Profuz Digital is a tech firm that regularly gives back to society and ensured the event was made more inclusive and accessible for hard of hearing attendees at the one-day conference by delivering pro bono real time captioning at all the speaker panels throughout the conference.

Discussions were focused primarily on various problems and initiatives organised by NGOs and activists in multiple domains such as women’s rights, equality and non-discrimination. Two of the panels were transcribed in real time in Bulgarian language using SubtitleNEXT software and Microsoft Cognitive Services for transforming spoken language into text. SubtitleNEXT was used to transform this text into timed subtitles, which were then sent to a dedicated monitor where people could read the speeches in real time.

“We were delighted to support the Bulgarian Fund for Women by donating our live subtitling technology to help with transcription and to make the event more inclusive,” noted Profuz Digital CEO Ivanka Vassileva, “Companies play an important role in helping to shape a better society through ethical business values, including aspects like sustainability, equality, and promoting wellbeing. At Profuz Digital, we ensure that noble philanthropic work impacts positively on communities, proving crucial to forming a fairer, kinder world.”

Established in 2004, Bulgarian Fund for Women raises funds and gives grants to local NGOs working to advance women’s rights. The inclusion of women as active stakeholders is essential to ensure that their needs and concerns are heard and factored into the development of future business strategies.

Relevant to the topics of the event, November 25th marks the United Nations’ International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. Gender-based violence has a direct negative impact on economic empowerment and can limit a person’s ability to reach full potential and contribute to society. Bulgarian Fund for Women strives to improve the environment politically and legally to help protect women from discrimination and violence. #NoExcuse Campaign https://www.unwomen.org/

Profuz Digital confirms TPN assessment for SubtitleNEXT and NEXT-TT localisation platforms

/in

For immediate release – 14 February 2024, Sofia, Bulgaria – Specialist systems integration developer Profuz Digital continues to meet high industry standards by attaining TPN assessment. As members of TPN, Profuz Digital completed the self-assessment process for both the company as a whole and its localisation subtitling platforms SubtitleNEXT and NEXT-TT. This proactive step demonstrates that Profuz Digital continues to prioritise customer content security in a dynamic industry.
CEO of Profuz Digital Ivanka Vassileva states, “We care about our customers and take security extremely seriously, especially when working in the creative and dynamic digital environment that we all enjoy working in. Although TPN participation is voluntary, we have always valued content security, and so we are pleased to confirm the completion of our TPN self-assessment process for our localisation platforms – SubtitleNEXT and NEXT-TT.”
SubtitleNEXT was designed to create real-time and prepared subtitling and captioning across all media formats. NEXT-TT is a powerful hybrid localisation platform formed by the integration of SubtitleNEXT with media asset management system Profuz LAPIS, giving operators the best of both worlds in order to work on the desktop and in the Cloud.

The Trusted Partner Network (TPN) is owned by the Motion Picture Association (MPA), and is a global initiative that helps create a culture that understands that security is a critical part of the supply chain and is everybody’s responsibility.
TPN plays a vital role in helping service providers prevent breaches of their customers’ TV shows and cinema productions prior to release dates. TPN helps raise security awareness and capabilities to reduce the number of security assessments that vendors have to go through for each film studio. This allows for studios to effectively use a trusted “one-stop shop” for security information.
Service providers are supported by TPN as a centralised source of content security preparedness with a means for securely providing self-reported, and third-party validated, security information with content owners, in order that they may make their own independent, risk-based decision with regard to vendor sourcing.
TPN is accelerating how service providers and software application companies of all sizes report their security status, both from a self-reporting and a third-party assessment basis. This approach helps to reduce duplication for security status reporting and tracking of cloud-based, software application workflows and on-site content security measures.
If existing and future customers are interested in reinforcing content security and if they are already TPN members themselves, they will automatically have access to Profuz Digital’s TPN security status.
“It is vital to be part of a growing digital industry community that is dedicated to raising security standards and we see this as a positive move. TPN updates MPA Best Practices to stay current with evolving industry trends and technology evolution which is a tremendous benefit to our customers.” Ivanka Vassileva concludes.
Organisations already adopting Profuz Digital’s technology include the likes of the Council of Europe, Canal Plus France and Myanmar, London’s Wilco Media, Euro Media Group Belgium, Tarjama in the UAE, Polsat, Bulgarian National Television, Bulgarian National Radio, IT Pros Italy, Digitalmeister GmbH, Leinhäuser Language Services GmbH, University of Warsaw, Ghent and KU Leuven University in Belgium and others.

Dubai’s Tarjama embraces SubtitleNEXT and NEXT-TT for Localization Services

/in

Leading MENA language tech firm chooses NEXT-TT for secure cloud-based subtitling

For immediate release – 3 November 2022, DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – Well-established technology developer, Profuz Digital is thrilled to announce that leading language solutions provider Tarjama, has selected the SubtitleNEXT and NEXT-TT platforms to optimise subtitling, translating and localization services, along with further reinforcing security.

Founded in 2008, Dubai-based Tarjama is a pioneering language technology firm that offers a wide variety of linguistic services that includes translation, localization, content creation, transcription, subtitling and strategic advisory.

SubtitleNEXT is a sought-after timed-text platform that offers real-time and offline subtitling and captioning for all media formats. Profuz LAPIS is an integrated web-accessible digital workflow asset management system that powerfully executes total desktop and cloud-management through browser functionality.
NEXT-TT combines SubtitleNEXT’s functionalities with Profuz LAPIS, into one powerful hybrid technology-base. The unique NEXT-TT platform provides an adaptable and multipurpose foundation for delivering enhanced localization services.

Tarjama adopted SubtitleNEXT and NEXT-TT to further boost their automatic voice recognition and machine translation services in order to manage costs.
Founder and CEO of Tarjama Nour Al Hassan says, “Tarjama uses a hybrid model that controls the speed of our innovative proprietary technology. Paired with the accuracy and creativity of expert linguists, it enables subtitlers to deliver quality content to companies at phenomenal speed, and efficiency. The fact that the Profuz LAPIS technology within NEXT-TT allows companies of all shapes and sizes to access projects at any given time, from anywhere, and facilitates collaboration among clients and staff, was a major draw. NEXT-TT can also be customized to produce targeted management and efficient workflows.”
Profuz LAPIS’s capabilities within NEXT-TT brings Tarjama many other advantages. It plays a central secure role, and controls the organisation’s processes seamlessly, from acquisition, classification, storage, search, post-production, to media content distribution. Data-files ranging from audio, videos, images, subtitles/captions, documents, news, projects, and more, are managed through its multi-platform content delivery capabilities that extensively synchronise the entire content production workflow and distribution chain.
Security is also of paramount importance to Tarjama and was a vital factor in their decision-making process. Nour Al Hassan confirms, “After extensively researching many cloud-based subtitling and workflow management platforms, we made the decision to invest in Profuz Digital’s SubtitleNEXT and NEXT-TT platforms as they fulfilled all our requirements, and “ticked all the right boxes”. As a company, we opted to pivot from single-license desktop subtitling applications to more accessible cloud-based subtitling tools. So, not only does this shift bring convenient benefits, but more crucially, security.”
“Particularly when employing freelance linguists,” Nour added, “it is imperative that we ensure security for our clients, many of whom entrust us with sensitive material that might not yet have been aired or hit cinema theatres yet. So therefore, the possibility of security breaches would have disastrous consequences, and it’s a risk we are never willing to take. That’s why we chose SubtitleNEXT and NEXT-TT as trusted technologies that we can safely rely on in this area.”
CEO Nour Al Hassan founded Tarjama to meet the growing demand for excellence in translation services that cater to the unique multicultural environment of the Middle East. By tapping into an undervalued network of exceptional and talented women, she challenged conventional norms and went on to excel in the translation and localization fields. Under her stunning leadership, Tarjama has set new standards in the industry through the company’s commitment to quality, speed, and extraordinary linguistic value.
Nour affirms, “SubtitleNEXT and NEXT-TT have proven to be the solution that caters for all our technical needs and is the most cost-effective of all the other solutions that we had researched. Working in a fast-paced world of subtitling that comes with extremely tight deadlines and air dates, we also find the Profuz Digital and PBT EU teams to be very helpful and responsive. Their fast and effective support is essential to our business continuity, and we are extremely pleased to have the perfect support-system now in place, with Profuz Digital and PBT EU at the helm as our technology partners.”
Ivanka Vassileva, CEO and Managing Partner of Profuz Digital and PBT EU concludes, “Tarjama has an excellent reputation in the MENA region and delivers first-rate subtitling projects for incredible clients that use cutting-edge technology and span across a multitude of verticals, such as VOD, cinematic theatre releases, e-learning, corporate and government videos, in-flight entertainment and so much more. All of these areas demand their own set of specific requirements, challenges, and workflows, and Tarjama’s aim is for all of these projects to now go through SubtitleNEXT and NEXT-TT systems. We are absolutely delighted that Tarjama has chosen SubtitleNEXT and NEXT-TT technology as they continue to serve their customers and expand their offering, and we very much look forward to supporting them for the long-term.”

Ghent University adopts SubtitleNEXT to equip students for the future

/in

For immediate release – 19 May 2022, Ghent, Belgium – Europe’s prestigious Belgian Ghent University has invested in the SubtitleNEXT platform for the Department of Translation, Interpreting and Communication to further empower students.

After carefully reviewing a number of subtitling software systems, including free cloud-based programmes, the university’s Language and Translation Technology team chose SubtitleNEXT as system of choice to replace their previous subtitling tool.

Ghent University is a major public research institution, currently ranked within the top one hundred World University Rankings. With a total of 36,000 students and 9,000 staff, the University of Ghent has over eleven faculties offering more than two hundred courses that conduct in-depth research within a wide range of scientific disciplines, while its research investment averages around £180 million annually.

Within the Department of Translation, Interpreting and Multilingual Communication, students are being trained as language and language technology specialists, which offers them career perspectives in the translation and interpreting industry, including marketing and communications, education, natural language processing (NLP), and so forth.

For many years, subtitling has been part of the curriculum at Bachelor, Master, and Postgraduate level, and constitutes an important internship program thanks to collaborations with The International Film Fest Gent.

Ghent University’s Language Technology Lecturer Cynthia Van Hee says, “SubtitleNEXT stood out from the other systems due to many factors such as its intuitive interface and the large number of functionalities it offers. The versatile licensing schemes, including PBT EU’s dedicated technical support and maintenance options also appealed to us, as they give us flexibility to request specific functionalities for our purposes.”

Expanding on the key elements that attracted the department to invest in SubtitleNEXT, Cynthia outlines further details, “With teaching purposes in mind, our decision was mainly based on the technical advantages that SubtitleNEXT offers, outlined in my summary as follows:

Firstly, SubtitleNEXT’s intuitive interface works for us. Basic functionalities for loading a video, such as, spotting, adding, removing, and editing subtitles are all straightforward in the system. This is a major requirement for us, given that teachers and students with different backgrounds would be working with SubtitleNEXT.

Secondly, we were very impressed with the multitude of functionalities SubtitleNEXT has to offer and that they are also relevant to a range of other courses in our department. SubtitleNEXT provides invaluable respeaking and live subtitling options for candidates in our Interpreting Master’s programme too, including automatic translation plugin possibilities for the courses on Translation, displaying different interface layouts that allow easy comparison of subtitle files and so on.

Thirdly, given our yearly collaborations with different film festivals, SubtitleNEXT also delivers in this important area for us, with the types of video formats the system supports and the number of export possibilities.

Finally, the SubtitleNEXT floating licensing option that PBT EU offers is a considerable advantage when working with many groups of students.”

In addition, Cynthia reveals a few of her favourite features in SubtitleNEXT, “We really like the logical and clear layout design with limitless options for subtitle layout and editing. The various interface layouts, such as the side-by-side view for correcting purposes are useful, as well as the support for different video and export formats. It’s also great that we have the opportunity in SubtitleNEXT to create different subtitling profiles, each with their own set of properties.”

Looking ahead to what’s next, she adds, “We are also eager to learn more about the live subtitling option in the future. We are truly satisfied with SubtitleNEXT as our new subtitling software, and so are our students. The software appears to be very intuitive to them and provides all necessary options to allow them to successfully embark on their subtitling adventure.

We are also really happy with and grateful for the customer support we received so far. Switching software always implies many changes and a steep learning curve, but we can always address our concerns and questions, which are responded quickly and efficiently.”

CEO and Managing Partner of PBT EU, Ivanka Vassileva concludes, “We are delighted to welcome Ghent University to the growing community of SubtitleNEXT professionals. We feel immensely proud that the university’s dynamic Language and Translation Technology team invested in SubtitleNEXT for its various language and translation programmes, arming a future generation with key skills within a fast-paced global market. As a team that places our customers as first priority, we deeply value the relationship we have with the university, and we very much look forward to working with Cynthia and her outstanding team as they continue to transfer excellent subtitling skills to the next generation in an evolving digital world.”

The SubtitleNEXT platform is used for both offline and real-time captioning for all kinds of media formats. Some of the many organisations, including universities that have already adopted SubtitleNEXT include EMG, Digitalmeister GmbH, Leinhäuser Language Services GmbH, Polsat, Kino Polska, University of Rome Tor Vergata, the University of Warsaw, European School of Translation, Max Live Media Access, Biovisjon, IT Pros Subtitles, Doli Media Studio, Cube Cinema Technologies, Tring TV, Bulgarian National Television, Canal Plus Myanmar, AMC, HD Media, Hellenic American College of Greece, European School of Translation, the Complutense University of Madrid, and many others.
