Subtitle audio micro-course (transcript)
Podcast 1 — Introduction & meaning
Narrator: Today's word is subtitle. It works as both a noun and a verb, and it lives in books, films, and design.
Narrator: You say it SUB-ty-tl, with the stress on the first syllable. In phonetic notation, that's /ˈsʌbtaɪtl/.
Narrator: A subtitle is a secondary title that explains or adds to the main one. In film, subtitles are the words shown on screen translating or transcribing the speech.
Narrator: As a verb, to subtitle a film is to add those on-screen captions of the dialogue.
Narrator: The word is simply sub, meaning under or secondary, plus title, so it is literally the title that sits beneath the main one.
Narrator: It became essential in cinema and television, letting audiences enjoy films in other languages or follow along without sound.
Narrator: In tone, subtitle is plain and everyday. So remember: a subtitle sits below the title, adding meaning or words underneath.

Podcast 2 — In conversation
Speaker A: The book's subtitle really sold it to me, it explained exactly what it was about.
Speaker B: Good subtitle then. The main title hooks you, the subtitle tells you the detail.
Speaker A: Exactly. And we watched the film with subtitles because it was in French.
Speaker B: Right. One thing, don't confuse subtitle with caption. Captions describe sounds for the deaf, subtitles usually translate or show the speech.
Speaker A: Good distinction. And as a verb, they subtitled the whole series in English.
Speaker B: Exactly. A close idea is a tagline, though a tagline is a catchy slogan, a subtitle explains.
Speaker A: True. I always turn subtitles on, even in my own language.
Speaker B: Same here. So the talk was called Focus, with the subtitle A Guide to Deep Work.
Speaker A: Perfect. The subtitle does the explaining the title can't.
Speaker B: Lovely. One word, the line that sits under the main title.
Podcast 3 — Prompt engineering
Speaker B: Today we'll use the word subtitle to write AI prompts about supporting text, captions, and secondary headings in layouts.
Speaker B: Picture a hero section. Here's a clean prompt.
Prompt: Build a hero section in React with a bold title and a clear subtitle underneath: the title states the product name, the subtitle explains in one short line what it does and who it is for.
Speaker B: It works because subtitle tells the AI to add a supporting line under the main heading, not another big title.
Speaker A: Nice. Could subtitle shape a card layout too?
Speaker B: Absolutely. Try this.
Prompt: Design product cards where each has a title and a muted subtitle below it for the category or short tagline, keeping the subtitle smaller and lighter than the title.
Speaker B: Here subtitle tells the AI exactly how to style the secondary line: smaller, lighter, supporting.
Speaker A: Clear. What about a video feature?
Speaker B: Use the caption sense.
Prompt: Add a subtitle track to this video player: show the spoken text at the bottom, let users toggle subtitles on or off, and pick the language from a small menu.
Speaker B: Saying subtitle track tells the AI to build on-screen captions with a clear toggle.
Speaker A: Love that. Can we build a small app?
Speaker B: Minimal but precise.
Prompt: Create a simple slide-maker app where each slide has a large title and an optional subtitle line, with a live preview so users see the title and subtitle exactly as the audience will.
Speaker B: One word, subtitle, defines the secondary text everywhere, so the prompt stays memorable.
Speaker A: And for a dashboard header?
Speaker B: Same supporting idea.
Prompt: Give each dashboard page a title and a small subtitle that shows the date range or context, so users always know what the numbers below the subtitle actually cover.
Speaker B: The subtitle quietly adds context without competing with the main title.
Speaker A: Brilliant. One last quick prompt for accessibility?
Speaker B: Here you go.
Prompt: Make these subtitles accessible: high contrast text, a readable size, and a semi-transparent band behind the subtitle so it stays clear over any bright background in the video.
Speaker B: So the rule is simple: use subtitle for a supporting line under a title or captions on a video, and the intent reads clearly.
Speaker A: Got it. Subtitle equals the line under the title. Easy to recall and easy to type.
