The QC Report
What Is a QC Report?
The QC (Quality Control) report is a PDF document that summarizes the state of a subtitling project. It's the deliverable that accompanies a finished subtitle file — it certifies compliance with standards and lists any remaining issues.
It is generated from the Tools > QC Report menu.
Report Contents
The report is structured in several sections:
Overall status — a one-word verdict:
| Status | Condition |
|---|---|
| PASS | No errors, 5 or fewer warnings, compliance >= 90% |
| CONDITIONAL PASS | More than 5 warnings or compliance between 70 and 89% |
| FAIL | At least one error |
Project information — file name, standards profile used, video duration, number of detected scene cuts, generation date.
Overview — four visual indicators:
- Compliance percentage (green, orange, or red depending on the score)
- Number of issue-free entries
- Total number of errors
- Total number of warnings
Statistics — project metrics: total character and word count, average, median, minimum and maximum reading speed, average subtitle duration.
Issue details — a table listing each subtitle with an error or warning, along with its timecode, text, and the nature of the problem.
AI audit results — if an AI analysis has been performed, its findings are included in the report (detected issue, proposed suggestion).
Notes — each subtitle can receive a free-form annotation via the note icon in the action bar (in edit mode). These notes let you justify an editorial choice ("intentionally long voice-over"), flag a point of attention for a reviewer, or leave a memo for yourself. They are included in the QC report even if the entry has no validation issues — making them a communication tool between the subtitler and the supervisor.
