Defined as one of the industry’s most reliable and emergent timed-text subtitling software packages, it is no surprise why SubtitleNEXT is referred to by many professionals today as the ‘subtitler’s lifesaver.’ The system is teeming with an array of immediate resourceful tools, and can be put to work on heavy deadline-driven workloads.

It primarily aims at audio-visual translation freelance professionals, through to Language Services Providers, production, postproduction companies and broadcasters. Many of the companies and educational establishments that have already adopted the system and use SubtitleNEXT on a daily basis including the likes of Canal+ Myanmar FG, the University of Rome Tor Vergata, The Hellenic American College, Doli Media Studio, The European School of Translation and Europe’s largest Belgium-based production company Videohouse, where it has been used on well-known TV series such as Big Little Lies, Sirens, Vikings and many more.

Created by Profuz Digital, SubtitleNEXT stems from a reliable legacy that has been built up over the past thirty years. CTO and founder, Kamen Ferdinandov, is the brainchild behind the core software development. With a combination of technological expertise, Kamen is backed by a passionate team with astute business acumen and industry awareness, jointly responsible for SubtitleNEXT’s ongoing growth and success. The software development milestones Kamen initiated, had led to the evolution from Subtitle, one of the first file-based subtitling tools, through to SubtitlePlus, a worldwide renowned subtitling tool for broadcasters.
