Sound familiar?

These are the exact problems we spent 20 years living with — and the reason we built Azotus.

Subtitles are holding you back

You can't air content fast enough because translation is too expensive, too slow, or too unreliable. Volunteers burn out. Professional agencies charge $1,000+ per episode and still need corrections.

Your book has been waiting for years

You know your content could reach millions more people in other languages. But the quotes are too high, the timelines are too long, and you've seen what cheap translation does to theological precision.

Generic tools don't understand your content

You've tried the translation tools. They can't tell the difference between a casual conversation and a sermon. They mistranslate doctrine. They don't know that 'saved' has nothing to do with a bank account.

“Can't I just use a translation tool?”

You can. And you'll get a translation. What you won't get is something you can put on air or send to a publisher.

Translation is the easy part. Any tool can give you words in another language. The hard part — the part that takes a 30-minute sermon from raw text to broadcast-ready subtitles — is everything that happens after.

What a translation tool gives you

  • -Raw translated text
  • -No subtitle timing
  • -No broadcast formatting
  • -Inconsistent terminology
  • -No quality review
  • -You still need to do hours of manual work

What we deliver

  • Broadcast-formatted subtitles, timed to speech
  • SRT, VTT, TTML files — or burned video ready to air
  • Locked theological glossary across every episode
  • Three rounds of expert review before you see it
  • A review portal where you approve with one click
  • Same quality, every week, without touching it

The real cost of doing it yourself isn't the translation — it's the 4-6 hours someone on your team spends every week formatting, timing, correcting, and exporting subtitles. That's a part-time employee dedicated to one task. We replace that entire workflow with a system that delivers broadcast-ready files to your inbox.

What We Do

Two engines. One mission.

Whether it's a weekly broadcast or a 300-page book, we deliver translations that sound like they were originally written in the target language.

Process

From content to delivery in hours

Your involvement: send the file, review the result, approve. We handle everything in between.

01

Send Your Content

Upload your video file or book manuscript. We handle every format. That's the last thing you have to do until review.

02

Translation + Expert Review

Every translation is reviewed three times — for accuracy, broadcast formatting, and native fluency. Nothing ships until it reads like it was originally written in the target language.

03

Review When You Want To

Every translation is scored for confidence before it reaches you. Most are broadcast-ready on arrival. Use our review portal to watch with subtitles, flag anything, and approve — or trust the quality gates and go straight to air.

04

Broadcast-Ready Delivery

Receive subtitle files in every format (SRT, VTT, TTML) or a burned video ready to air. Books delivered as EPUB, DOCX, or print-ready PDF.

Built for autonomous operation

Our system scores every translation for confidence and runs it through broadcast quality gates — automatically. For clients with weekly schedules, this means your subtitles can be ready to air the moment they arrive in your inbox. Review when you want to, not because you have to. Set your quality threshold once, and let the system deliver.

FAQ

Common questions

How do you handle theological terminology?
Every language has a dedicated theological glossary — terms like atonement, redemption, the Holy Spirit, and scripture references are translated consistently and accurately. When your speaker quotes the Bible, we cross-reference with the official Bible translation in the target language.
What if I need corrections after delivery?
You review everything before it's final. Our client review portal lets you watch your program with subtitles, flag any segment, and leave notes. For books, you review side-by-side. We don't finalize until you approve.
Can you really match the quality of a human translator?
We didn't build a translation tool — we built the entire workflow that a professional translation team follows. Before a single word is translated, our system analyzes the full document: the structure, the tone, the recurring themes, the key terminology. It builds a translation brief, locks the glossary, and maps every scripture reference. Then it drafts, reviews for accuracy, checks for cultural and theological precision, and polishes for native fluency — each stage handled separately, the same way a senior translator, an editor, and a proofreader would work together. For books, this is a multi-stage pipeline that treats each chapter with full awareness of the entire manuscript. The result is consistently more thorough than a single human translator working alone, because no single person does all of these steps on every paragraph.
What subtitle formats do you support?
SRT, WebVTT, and TTML (EBU-TT for European broadcast). We can also deliver burned video with subtitles embedded, ready to air. All formatted to Netflix/BBC broadcast standards — maximum 42 characters per line, proper reading speed, and correctly timed to speech.
How fast can you deliver?
Standard turnaround is 72 hours for video (a single episode). Weekly show clients receive content on a rolling schedule. Books typically take 2 weeks for standard length. Rush delivery is available.
What if my language isn't listed?
We can add new languages. Each new language gets its own dedicated linguistic profile, glossary, and formatting rules — we don't do generic one-size-fits-all translation. Contact us and we'll discuss your specific needs.
Our Story

Built by a broadcaster.

A Christian television network changed my life. I went on to spend over 20 years working inside one — filming programs, managing broadcast schedules, and running subtitle operations for European audiences.

The pain point was always the same: we couldn't air content fast enough because subtitling was too expensive and too slow. Volunteers burned out. Professional tools took hours per episode. We tried every solution on the market — and nothing worked well enough for broadcast-quality long-form content.

So I studied how the best professional human translators actually work — their multi-step process of drafting, reviewing, and polishing — and built a system that mirrors that workflow. Hundreds of hours of testing, refining prompts, researching models, fine-tuning for theological precision. The system got better and better, faster and faster, until it started outperforming the specialized tools we had been using for years.

The owner of the television network — the man whose broadcast first changed my life — was blown away by the results. That's when I knew this could help others too.

Now serving broadcast networks and publishers across Europe and North America
