Use cases
Post-production subtitles for long-form video.
ValoCaptions is built for production teams delivering multi-speaker video: panel discussions at events, broadcast-style talk shows, debates, roundtables and e-learning content.
For the videos you deliver.
Use it after the edit, recording or live broadcast to create the finished subtitle delivery. It is most useful when a long conversation does not proceed neatly one speaker at a time.
Panel discussions at events
For the panel discussion at your conference, summit or live event, delivered afterwards as a complete on-demand recording.
Talk shows
For broadcast-style talk shows with a host, guests and conversations that move quickly between voices.
E-learning content
For courses, lectures and expert sessions where several people contribute to the learning experience.
For the teams that deliver them.
Webinar and livestream studios
For recorded webinars, online events and discussion programmes that need a reliable subtitle delivery after the live moment.
Video makers and production companies
For teams producing talk shows, interviews and multi-speaker programmes for their own clients or channels.
E-learning and education teams
For long trainings, lectures, expert conversations and knowledge sessions in which several people contribute.
Subtitle professionals and caption teams
For professionals who want a clearer review route while keeping the editorial decision in their own hands.
When the conversation gets busy.
Most AI subtitle tools struggle when people interrupt each other, take turns quickly or speak at the same time. A first automatic version can still leave you with a great deal of listening back and manual correction.
ValoCaptions uses multiple AI models and connected review rounds to select the passages that deserve attention. It helps you go straight to the moments where editorial judgement makes the difference, while taking as much manual work as possible out of the process.
Keep the full recording in view.
The interface is built for long-form video. You can see where you are in the full recording, where attention points are located and what still needs a decision. Move easily to any moment, address the important passages first, mark something for later or review from beginning to end. The route is yours to choose.
Deliver the version your production needs.
Choose the subtitle stage and file format that fit the production. Download the transcript separately, or add a version with subtitles burned into the video when the video itself is the delivery.
If your organisation has accessibility, delivery or data-handling requirements, they can be agreed before the project starts. See project and privacy information.
Questions about suitable productions
What kinds of videos is it designed for?
It is designed for long recordings in which several people interact, including panel discussions at events, broadcast-style talk shows, debates, roundtables and multi-speaker e-learning content.
Who is ValoCaptions designed for?
It is designed for teams that deliver long-form video and subtitles, including webinar and livestream studios, video makers, production companies, e-learning teams and subtitle professionals.
Can I subtitle a panel discussion after an event?
Yes. ValoCaptions is made for post-production subtitles on event panels where speakers interrupt, respond quickly or speak over one another. Multiple transcript and speaker signals flag passages that may deserve a closer look, so you can direct your review where it matters.
Can I use ValoCaptions for talk shows or debates?
Yes. It is suited to long-form talk shows, debates, roundtables and interview-led programmes with several speakers. The workflow gives you a clearer route through the moments that need editorial attention.
Can I use ValoCaptions as a video maker?
Yes. Video makers and production teams can create subtitle files, downloadable transcripts, burned-in subtitle videos and translated subtitle files for long-form productions. You choose the stages that fit the project and retain the final editorial decision.
Can I use ValoCaptions for e-learning videos?
Yes. It is especially useful for long e-learning recordings with guest experts, questions and answers, group discussions or other speaker changes. The workflow helps you find the moments that need the most attention before delivering readable subtitles.
Is ValoCaptions for live captioning?
No. ValoCaptions is designed for post-production: creating and reviewing subtitles after a recording, edit or live broadcast has finished.
Why are panel discussions harder to subtitle?
People interrupt, take turns quickly and talk at the same time. Those moments make it harder to establish exactly what was said, who said it and how the subtitle should read on screen.
What makes ValoCaptions different?
Most automatic subtitle services rely on a single automated stage, which often leaves substantial manual correction. We take a fundamentally different approach. ValoCaptions works in multiple focused rounds for speech and speaker identification, transcript refinement, subtitle timing and readability. Each round builds on the previous one, significantly reducing manual work and production time, while you retain the final editorial decision.
Can Valo Media support a WCAG-focused video project?
Yes. Where accessibility work goes beyond subtitles, or where your organisation has specific delivery requirements, Valo Media can prepare a tailored post-production proposal. The exact scope, including subtitle, editorial, audio-description or delivery work, is agreed project by project.
Do I need to review the recording?
Yes, but you choose how far you take the workflow and how much assistance you use. The stages are designed to take as much routine work as possible off your hands while improving the subtitle result. AI does the heavy lifting; you decide where to review, steer and make the final call.
