Subtitles People Can Actually Read

Correct names and numbers first, then fix line length, placement and contrast, then decide between burned-in captions and a subtitle file.

به چه درد می‌خورد

زیرنویس خودکار حرف‌های معمولی را درست می‌نویسد و دقیقا همان چیزهایی را غلط می‌نویسد که مهم‌اند: اسم‌ها، اعداد و اصطلاح‌ها. اول اینها را اصلاح کن، بعد طول خط و جای کادر و کنتراست را درست کن، و آخر تصمیم بگیر زیرنویس روی تصویر بسوزد یا فایل جدا هم برود. برای هر ویدیویی که بی‌صدا دیده می‌شود.

Automatic transcription gets ordinary speech right and gets everything that
matters wrong: names, products, prices, jargon. The proofreading pass is not
overhead — it is the work.

Correct before you style:
- Every proper noun, product name and price. These are the words the subtitle
  exists to deliver.
- Numbers and units. "15" heard as "50" is a subtitle that lies confidently.
- The first line and the last line. They are read by the most people and
  skimmed hardest by you.
- Run a find-and-replace for the terms your field repeats. The same word comes
  out wrong the same way every time.

Then shape the lines:
- Two lines maximum, roughly forty characters each. Automatic splitting breaks
  on timing, not on meaning.
- Break at a grammatical boundary. A line ending on "the" makes the reader
  wait, and reading is what they are doing instead of watching.
- Merge cues shorter than about a second. Text that flashes is text that is
  skipped.
- Lift the block off the bottom edge for vertical video. The bottom of the
  frame belongs to the platform's buttons and description.
- Check contrast against the BRIGHTEST frame the captions sit on, not the first
  one.

Deciding how they ship:
- Burned-in captions cannot be switched off, resized or translated by the
  platform. For a muted social feed that is exactly what you want.
- For a player that accepts a subtitle file, upload the file too: it gives you
  searchable text, accessibility, and a version you can correct later without
  re-exporting the video.
- Translate only after the source language is clean. Translating an error
  produces a confident error in a language you cannot check.

نصبش چطور است

1. Open the tool and start a new conversation, project or template.
2. Paste the text below wherever the tool keeps standing instructions
   — usually called system prompt, instructions, or persona.
3. Save it so it applies to every run rather than a single message.
