Have you heard of the FOSS movement?

Who would have thought that a subtitling software could have a philosophy of social inclusion?

This was the topic I presented at the recent ATAV Portugal event, Construir Pontes 2024.

FOSS stands for Free Open-Source Software.

I’ve taken the opportunity to dispel some common myths about FOSS:

*Myth: FOSS software is low quality
Truth: Many open-source projects are highly reliable and used by large companies

*Myth: FOSS software does not have any support
Truth: There are many communities that support FOSS projects

*Myth: Free software is only for coders
Truth: FOSS is used by people of all levels of technical expertise, from home users to large corporations

Subtitle Edit fits perfectly this profile.

It’s a versatile and user-friendly tool that’s ideal for subtitlers of all skill levels.
