ZOO Digital is pleased to announce that its cloud-based dubbing and subtitling platforms are now being used to train a new wave of localization talent at 40 universities and training providers around the world.
Thanks to OOONA, I’m heading to Languages and Media – 2022!
Few months ago OOONA, a software designer company for media localization from Israel, organized a contest and gathered ideas about improving their subtitling tools from fellow subtitlers around the world. The winner would have a chance to attend the Languages & Media conference in Berlin and all the expenses would be covered by OOONA. They announced the winner recently and guess who is going to Berlin?
Yes, me! 😀
Wayne Garb, the CEO of the company called me to give this great news and soon after he shared a post on LinkedIn. I first attended this conference back in 2018 and and loved it. It had widened my horizon. I had planned to attend the very next one but pandemic broke out and we all stucked. It was becoming almost impossible because of the sky rocketing exchange rates in Turkey. But, who knew? 🙂

13th Languages & the Media Conference
Conference postponed to 20-21 September 2021!
Early bird registration is now open for 13th Languages & the Media Conference. This year’s theme is Riding the Wave. I had the privilege to attend the 12th one, last year in Berlin. Honestly, my primary goal was to meet some of my remote employers. Because as an independent contractor, emailing is the only way of communication for me. It would be nice to meet my employers in person. I achieved this goal but it was also impressive to see that so many academics are involved in audiovisual industry. I had the chance to listen to many interesting speakers, academics and researchers, became aware of AV related institutions.

California Passes AB-5 Bill
California Passes AB-5 bill, known as gig-worker bill, in California State Senate without exemption for translators and interpreters. The bill will require businesses to hire workers as employees, not independent contractors. As an “independent contractor” who has contract with a Californian company, I’m not quite sure what it means to me or does it mean anything at all.

I’ve been working with IYUNO for about a year and I’m quite happy with their PMs communication and their financial organization when it comes to the vendors’ payments. I hope BTI and IYUNO merge also brings out more opportunities for us, for the subtitlers.
