Page "Fansub" Paragraph 17

Another, more recent, alternative with the growing availability and usage of. ts raws is translation from Japanese closed captions.

The closed captions can be exported from the. ts raw into various formats, and most fansub groups use a program called C-Cats to accomplish it.

This method often results in a fast, yet still fairly accurate translation due to greater ease of translating text to text, rather than audio to text.

This method, however, is not as widespread, as it is still not commonplace to have a. ts raw for a show.

In addition, not all. ts raws have the closed captions in them, as some raw providers remove the captions, and some Japanese broadcasting stations do not broadcast with closed captions.

Groups that use closed captions from a. ts raw use the audio to verify the closed caption translation, as it cannot be guaranteed that the closed captions are flawless.
