Free fit check · one lecture · two languages
One lecture,
ready to study.
Bring one English lecture you own. The fixed USD 250 pack returns a clean timestamped transcript, Traditional Chinese or Japanese subtitles, a pocket study companion, and one short captioned preview.
No upload or payment at the fit-check stage. Describe the source first; do not send the recording until the scope and rights are accepted.
One primary speaker · up to 20 minutes · English to Traditional Chinese or Japanese.
A small, inspectable workflow
Source first.
Every artifact linked.
01Customer-owned MP4, MOV, MP3, or WAV with intelligible speech.
02Timestamped English transcript with uncertain words marked, not quietly guessed.
03One reviewed target-language subtitle track and a line-aligned study companion.
04Pocket PDF, source manifest, and one 30–45 second captioned preview clip.
The deliverable
Useful files, not a black box.
The pack keeps the transcript, timing, learning structure, and provenance separate. You can edit the source files, inspect what changed, and reuse the material in your own course.
Transcript and subtitles
Timestamped English Markdown and SRT, plus one Traditional Chinese or Japanese SRT. Uncertain names and terms remain visibly marked for review.
Pocket study companion
An editable bilingual source and A5 PDF with a concise summary, five key ideas, up to ten aligned terms, timestamp references, and three review questions.
Preview and source trail
One customer-selected 30–45 second H.264 excerpt with burned-in bilingual captions, plus an inventory recording the source hash, attribution, rights statement, and unresolved uncertainties.
A deliberate first boundary
Small enough to review properly.
The pilot is for public or non-sensitive material with one clear speaker. It does not include rights clearance, platform downloads, audio restoration, extra languages, certified translation or accessibility, custom illustration, dubbing, full-course work, hosting, LMS or social posting, or unlimited revisions.
You provide
The source file, title, intended use, ownership or open-license evidence, up to twenty protected terms, up to five reusable figures or formulas, and the preview timestamp.
We review
Duration, speech clarity, source rights, target language, terminology, learner level, intended distribution, and whether the requested excerpt can be reused.
You approve
The subject matter and final publication remain yours. The target-language material is assisted and reviewed for structure and terminology, not sold as certified translation.
Public process evidence
Inspect how the pieces fit.
The projects below show the working formats behind the pilot. They are project-owned process evidence, not paid-customer results or a claim that third-party lectures can be resold.
