Amara Translation and Subtitling operates at the crossroads of nonprofit work and technology, focusing on making media content accessible worldwide through subtitling and captioning. Based in Boston, New England, the organization combines professional linguists with an award-winning editor and enterprise software to support localization workflows. A project of the Participatory Culture Foundation, a nonprofit 501(c)(3), Amara serves a client base that includes The New York Times, LinkedIn, Expedia, Github, and the California Academy of Sciences. Amara offers four core services: Amara On Demand for turnkey localization with subtitles created by expert translators; Amara Editor for captioning and subtitling; Amara Enterprise for cloud-based subtitling and team management workflows with integrated QA; and Amara Integrated for CMS integration via API. These tools target globalization managers and media producers who need centralized translation processes and more efficient workflows. In 2025, Amara Accessibility Media integrated its subtitle editor with ICTV Play's workflows to support Indigenous creators.
