Localized Audio Recording

Computer-based training modules, games, and marketing demonstrations often require audio recording as a component of localization.  SimulTrans offers full voice-over services.

Benefits for You

By working with SimulTrans, you will benefit from the following localized audio recording advantages:
  • Professional sound quality
  • Flexibility to choose between expensive professional recording artists or more cost-effective talent
  • Interaction between translators and recording artists, facilitating the refinement of script content during recording

Recording Approach

SimulTrans provides voice-over work for clients in two ways:

  • Working with professional voice talent in external studios, and
  • Internally recording less formal passages using linguists in our offices.

The appropriate method is chosen based on client requirements.

Studios and Equipment

SimulTrans has two formal recording studios in our offices.  Far from just a computer and microphone, these studios include sound-proof rooms, foam covered walls to eliminate echo, and high-end professional recording equipment.

Regardless of where recording is done, we edit sound files easily internally, using Sony SoundForge, Adobe Soundbooth, and Apple Soundtrack Pro software. These tools allow us to convert digital sound to the required file formats, remove noise (through professional noise reduction plug-ins), time recordings correctly to match on-screen animation, and normalize the volume across files and languages.
