If you’re looking to access Amara’s award-winning subtitling editor as an individual user in a private space to add captions and subtitles to your videos (or transcripts to your audio files), the Amara Orders Workspace is the perfect solution for you. 

The Amara Orders Workspace is available to anyone who creates a free Amara username on the Amara Platform and confirms their email address.

• AI-generated captions provide an initial version of your captions instantaneously.

• AI-generated captions start at USD 0.35 per minute.

• AI-generated captions are available in more than 30 languages.

• You can integrate your personal Orders Workspace with your YouTube channel and/or your Vimeo account.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

• There is a minimum order of USD $5.00 for AI captions OR Professional captions and subtitles ordered through your personal Orders Workspace.

• AI-generated captions are not reviewed by humans. The output is a rough draft that is not 100% accurate. The highest quality AI caption output is for videos with:

• Clear speech that is not fast and not too quiet;

• Clear speech that is not affected by strong accents;

• Little to no background noise;

• Little to no overlapping speech or sounds.

• It is recommended to review the AI caption output to correct any issues before publishing.
  

• Once a video has been added to your Orders Workspace and your purchased captions and subtitles have been delivered, you have access to the subtitle editor to review and edit them or add unlimited new language subtitles for that video without additional charges.
