Workflow comparison
TimedSubs vs Sonix for subtitle quality handoff
Sonix-style workflows are strong when automated transcription and subtitle generation are the start. TimedSubs starts later in the pipeline: when the exact script is already known.
Output asset example

Common review point
Transcription-first workflows can change names, numbers, or product terms that were already approved.
Decision points
Best fit for Sonix-style workflows
Automated transcription, caption generation, and transcript-first subtitle production.
Best fit for TimedSubs
Source-text preservation, subtitle line timing quality, and multi-format subtitle delivery from approved scripts.
Decision rule
If the first task is discovering the words, use transcription-first. If the words are already approved, use script-first.
