Tips for Japanese transcripts and subtitles
- Japanese is written without spaces between words, so word counts and line lengths behave differently from English.
- Keep subtitle lines short: about 13 to 16 full-width characters per line reads comfortably on screen.
- Captions do not include furigana; use a reading tool if you need pronunciation for kanji.
