English subtitles (fragment)
112
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,050
Before you open the bowl,
the clay has to be perfectly centered.
113
00:07:44,300 --> 00:07:47,900
Brace your left elbow on your knee
and push in with the heel of your hand.
114
00:07:48,100 --> 00:07:51,350
If the clay wobbles against your palm,
it's not there yet.
115
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,800
[STUDENT] How long do I keep pushing?
116
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,400
Until it feels like it's standing still,
even though the wheel is spinning.
Spanish translation (same cues)
112
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,050
Antes de abrir el cuenco,
el barro tiene que estar bien centrado.
113
00:07:44,300 --> 00:07:47,900
Apoya el codo izquierdo en la rodilla
y empuja con la base de la mano.
114
00:07:48,100 --> 00:07:51,350
Si el barro tiembla bajo tu palma,
todavía no está listo.
115
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,800
[ALUMNA] ¿Cuánto tiempo sigo empujando?
116
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,400
Hasta que parezca quieto,
aunque el torno siga girando.

About this service
Italian looks easy to transcribe until the details: elisions such as l'anno and dell'azienda, the accent that separates è from e and perché from perche, and double consonants that change a word's meaning. We transcribe your Italian audio or video from a link with names, places and terms from your brief spelled correctly, or translate the result into English or another language if you need that instead. Speakers from Rome, Naples, Milan, Sicily or Ticino are fine; strong dialect passages are written as closely as they can be heard.
What is included
- What you getAn Italian transcript as plain text in paragraphs, plus SRT and VTT files timed to the recording, or the same files translated into the language you choose.

- What is the recording?
- Which names or terms must be spelled exactly?

Questions and answers
What about strong dialect, such as Neapolitan?
Dialect is written as closely as it is heard, but it may be less accurate than standard Italian. Tell us in the brief, and send back any line to fix.
Can I get both Italian and English?
Each order gives the result in one language. For both, place two orders.
