Audio Transcription & Subtitling for Sports Broadcast
Overview:
A large crowdsourcing platform partnered with us to deliver high-accuracy transcription and subtitling for a premier league sports broadcaster in India. The project required precise timestamp alignment, linguistic accuracy, and effective handling of high-noise, multi-speaker audio.
Approach:
- Designed workflows for high-volume audio transcription and subtitling
- Focused on noise reduction and speaker isolation in complex audio environments
- Implemented a two-level quality control framework for accuracy and consistency
Execution:
- L1 Teams: Subtitle creation, transcription, and initial validation
- L2 Teams: Segment-level review with timestamp-based corrections
- Iterative feedback loops to minimize errors and improve consistency
- Managed challenges including crowd noise, overlapping speakers, and long-duration files
Impact:
- Processed 9,000+ audio files (10–16 minutes each)
- Delivered accurate English subtitles with precise timestamp synchronization
- Maintained consistent quality and daily production targets at scale
- Produced broadcast-ready outputs for seamless viewer experience
