For GO SUB, I used subtitling software Ooona's Online
Toolkit and EZTitles to create captions for TV and other
media. I adhered to strict deadlines while maintaining
100% accuracy and respected subtitle reading speeds,
time codes, line and positioning compliance, safe areas
and all restrictions (legal and otherwise) relating to
subtitling standard practice. Some tasks included making
translations from French to English, while others involved
creating English captions for the deaf and hard-of-hearing
(SDH).
