Hello,

An agency asked me the "Minimum no. of subtitles/substances (per day)". This is the first time I've been asked this question, I'm usually asked the maximum number of minutes per day, can anyone help me?

Thank you!
Cristina

I guess, it pretty much depends on the material. I can complete an episode of Korean dramas with 800-850 subtitles in a day. But generally 300-400 subtitles of feature length films. Hope that helps
