Result:

Boost accessibility and SEO for your video content without manual effort.

Manual subtitling: a productivity bottleneck

Producing high-quality subtitles for every video hosted on JW Player is a time-consuming task. Between transcription, timing, and translation, your team loses valuable time that should be spent on content creation.

Main negative impacts:

  • High production costs: Hiring external transcription services or mobilizing internal resources for manual subtitling takes a heavy toll on your budget.
  • Slower time-to-market: The video is ready, but waiting for subtitles. This bottleneck delays the publication and reach of your strategic messages.
  • Lack of accessibility and SEO: Without subtitles, your videos are less accessible to the hearing impaired and poorly indexed by search engines, limiting your reach.

Swiftask automates the entire subtitling lifecycle for JW Player. As soon as a new video is detected, the AI agent generates, synchronizes, and injects subtitles directly into your player.

BEFORE / AFTER

What changes with Swiftask

The traditional process

You export the video, send it to a transcriptionist or third-party tool, wait for the SRT file, review it, and then manually upload it into the JW Player interface.

The Swiftask + JW Player approach

Upon upload to JW Player, the Swiftask agent retrieves the audio track, generates subtitles via AI, and synchronizes them automatically. The video is ready to watch with subtitles instantly.

Automate your subtitling in 4 steps

STEP 1 : Configure your transcription agent

Create a dedicated agent in Swiftask and set the source language as well as formatting preferences for your subtitles.

STEP 2 : Link your JW Player account

Connect your JW Player instance to Swiftask via secure API keys to enable access to your video streams.

STEP 3 : Define the trigger

Enable monitoring for your JW Player folders or playlists. Swiftask automatically processes every newly published video.

STEP 4 : Publish and update

The agent inserts the generated subtitle files directly into the JW Player. Everything is ready in minutes.
