Zoo goes wild for 200m subtitle milestone

Zoo Digital, the Sheffield-based subtitling specialist, has surpassed the 200m subtitle milestone for TV and movie studios.

Zoo reached 100 million subtitles 3.5 years after launching its subtitling service; the subsequent 100m were added in 16 months.

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. A typical feature film requires around 700 such subtitles for each language.

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.”
