ZOO surpasses milestone of 200 million subtitles for TV and
movie studios
ZOO Digital Group plc, the provider of cloud-based subtitling
and digital distribution services for the global entertainment
industry, has surpassed a new Company milestone, delivering over
200 million subtitles for the biggest names in the global TV and
movie industry. ZOO reached 100 million subtitles 3.5 years after
launching its subtitling service; this subsequent 100 million were
added in just six months.
Subtitling is a key tenet of the Group's localisation services
for its clients, delivered using ZOO's innovative cloud technology.
The Company provides foreign language subtitling, captioning and
dubbing in all languages and distribution formats for clients
worldwide, including the six major Hollywood studios, global
broadcasters and major online retailers. One subtitle is a phrase
of text displayed on screen, either to translate dialogue into
another language or as an aid for hearing-impaired viewers, with a
typical feature film requiring around 700 such subtitles for each
language.
The demand for ZOO's subtitling service is growing rapidly,
driven primarily by the growth in content for sale through digital
platforms now widely available from a growing number of
"Over-The-Top" (OTT) providers. Processing over 250,000 minutes of
subtitles and captions per month, ZOO works on some of the world's
most well-known feature films and TV programs.
Stuart Green, CEO of ZOO Digital, commented,
"As the industry continues to evolve, so too does the demand for
our solutions. It is now easier for content owners to reach a much
wider audience through digital rather than physical products and as
a result, content has become commercially available in more and
more geographies, driving the need for subtitling into additional
languages. We are ideally positioned to service this heightened
level of demand through our efficient and secure cloud platforms,
which give us the capacity to scale our services efficiently to
respond to our clients' needs of reaching audiences
everywhere."
