SubtitleNEXT is the Tool of Choice for European School of Translation’s audio-visual courses

PBT EU and EST partner to provide the best learning opportunities to subtitling professionals of the future

When professionals with a passion meet, they share ideas that spark innovation. This happened recently at The Languages & The Media 2018 Conference in Berlin, when Valeria Cervetti, head teacher and director of the Audio-visual Translation courses at the European School of Translation (EST) met PBT EU’s Sales and Product Specialist Maria Markovska.

Valeria was looking for a user-friendly, reliable and professional software tool for her subtitling students, an application that could help them take their first steps, and then provide a lasting solution for their professional career requirements. She had been using PBT EU’s SubtitleNEXT solution for some time and was convinced it was the right answer for her training needs.

PBT EU’s COO and Managing Partner Ivanka Vassileva and her team, on the other hand, were looking for a training school to partner with, to introduce young professionals to the world of subtitling with PBT EU’s SubtitleNEXT educational version, a fully-featured edition of their flagship software.

It was a marriage made in heaven: – EST and PBT EU decided to sign a partnership agreement in which PBT EU would provide free educational licences for EST students throughout 2018 as well as a 30% discount on the purchase of any version of SubtitleNEXT. The educational licence (fully functional except for imports/exports limited to 20-25 subtitles) covers installations for both Mac and Windows OS users.

EST will become a certified SubtitleNEXT teaching institution at the SN Academy, thus helping to promote the use of this simple, yet powerful professional tool for the audio-visual industry.

“We are honoured to partner with PBT EU and very excited to start this joint venture,” commented Andrea Spila, Director of Studies at EST. “We are sure that our students will greatly benefit by using SubtitleNEXT during our courses and that they will be fully equipped subtitlers when they enter the industry.”

 

“We are delighted to join hands with the European School of Translation and look forward to a close long-term relationship with them. This collaboration is a natural step forward in bringing greater value to enhancing the careers of trainee subtitlers and translators. The European School of Translation are renown for equipping professionals of the future with the best credentials including knowing how to use the latest innovation in their field such as SubtitleNEXT. We feel very proud and excited to see our SubtitleNEXT software well-placed in a respected educational organisation like the European School of Translation, where it can help to serve future generations.” PBT EU’s Sales and Product Specialist Maria Markovska confirmed.

SubtitleNEXT is a user-friendly, innovative timed-text software platform, designed for personal and professional use. Used throughout the entire video production process from concept to distribution, it simplifies processes throughout the entire work cycle. Fully customizable and intuitive, it delivers quality results with accuracy and speed: it is therefore an ideal solution for both students and junior or senior professionals, requiring a fully-fledged tool to meet their most demanding challenges. Already adopted across various multimedia industries, it easily adapts to any settings, resolutions, and formats across online video, TV, film, theatre, concerts, festivals, conferences and events. It can be applied throughout the entire production process from concept to distribution. https://subtitlenext.com/product-line/platform/

It provides an opportunity to learn about the sector’s pioneering timed-text technologies including SubtitleNEXT. Visitors to the conference can discover how SubtitleNEXT can be tailored to suit and adapt to specific requirements.

Sales Director at PBT EU, Alexander Stoyanov states, “We are thrilled to sponsor and support this important conference which is a high-level podium for all professionals involved in captioning, subtitling, timed-text, interpreting, and translating across a variety of media. Language essentially shapes who we are and in turn shapes the industry. How technology fits into the equation as a disruptor provides challenges as well as opportunities.”

CTO of PBT EU Kamen Ferdinandov, who will also be present at the event, adds further, “In my view, we are at a historic turning point in our civilisation and it is imperative to discuss the implications of how new solutions are making languages more accessible and affecting communications across cultures through media. So, this will be a fascinating topic threading throughout the 3-day period. As a company, we have embraced these changes  ahead of time. We are very excited to present the adaptable capabilities that SubtitleNEXT already offers to help solve the challenges facing subtitlers today in a market that demands constant content at a rapid pace.”
