Developed by subtitlers for subtitlers

Spot Software, based in Amsterdam, Holland, has been developing subtitling software since 1997. Because we're subtitlers ourselves, we know which tools you need to get the job done as quickly and as accurately as possible. Our popular subtitling system Spot, one of the first affordable subtitling systems on the market, builds on this experience. Thanks to its wide range of advanced features, user-friendly interface and accessible price tag, Spot has become the tool of choice for hundreds of professional subtitlers and post-production houses throughout Europe.
