English to Korean

BeamTake transcribes English speech, translates it into Korean subtitles and burns them into the video. The audio stays the same, so the speaker keeps their own voice; only the text on screen changes.

What happens when English speech is transcribed

Speech is fast, with lots of contractions and connected forms (gonna, wanna). Names and brand names get spelled by ear; downloading the transcript and fixing them is the fastest route.

Spoken English uses connected forms: “going to” becomes “gonna”. The transcript writes what was said, not written English; you can tidy it up in the .srt file.

Who watches English content?

English captions open content up to the global feed. Most viewers whose first language isn't English still follow English captions easily, so it's usually the first extra language to add.

What's taken care of when translating into Korean

Translation follows the flow of speech, not word by word: a English sentence can come out longer or shorter in Korean, so subtitle timings are rebalanced. Latin fonts don't include Hangul; with a missing font, captions show empty boxes.

Line breaks follow the target language: 18–22 characters per line. Both languages read in the same direction, so alignment needs no extra work.

Where are Korean-speaking viewers?

Korean content has built a global audience over the past decade around music, drama and games. Korean captions reach that worldwide fan base, not just Korea.

Subtitles, not dubbing

We don't generate synthetic voices. The speaker's own voice and intonation stay, and viewers read the text. For interviews, lectures, podcasts and other speech-heavy content, that's more honest than imitating a voice, and causes fewer problems in practice.

FAQ

Do you translate the audio too?

No. The audio stays as it is and the translation goes out as subtitles, so the speaker's voice and tone are preserved.

Anything to know about the English side?

Spoken English uses connected forms: “going to” becomes “gonna”. The transcript writes what was said, not written English; you can tidy it up in the .srt file.

Is Korean script rendered correctly in the subtitles?

Yes. Latin fonts don't include Hangul; with a missing font, captions show empty boxes.

Can I correct the translation?

Yes. Both .srt files download with the video; fix the translated one in any subtitle editor and upload it wherever you publish.
