Amara

The Internet contains information and educational content that has helped many people to learn new things. The main obstacle that often occurs in the dissemination of knowledge and information is the language barrier, Amara is a solution that can help others to translate educational contents to be disseminated.

Amara's award-winning technology enables you to caption and subtitle any video for free. For larger subtitling projects the platform makes it easy to manage teams of translators. And you can always purchase high-quality captions or translations from our passionate team of professional linguists.

This web-based application is used to translate video with crowdsourcing system. Amara also uses a volunteer-based translation system thereby reducing the costs incurred for captioning and translation.

Amara is home to a vibrant group of passionate individuals focused on making online content accessible. We want everyone to benefit from the free education, culture, and media available. Content that enriches people’s lives and broadens their perspectives.

Translating the positive and useful contents available online will help in the dissemination of information so that everyone can learn and benefit from the existing content.

Broadly speaking, the processes traversed while doing translation are adding video URLs, adding the language, syncing and review.
