Singapore-based video streaming service Viki was founded in 2007, and now has offices in San Francisco, Seoul, Tokyo and Shanghai.
It was acquired by Japanese e-commerce company Rakuten for $200 million in September 2013. The site specialises in content that is subtitled into a wide variety of languages. There are approximately 200 languages available, including even Cornish, Latvian and Kurdish.
The videos on the site are licensed by Viki. Producing a subtitled video is done by a community of volunteers, who distribute different tasks among themselves, including segmenting (cutting a video into short parts), subtitling and captioning.
Viki in turn syndicates the fan-generated subtitles to partners such as Hulu and Netflix.
The home page of Viki is full of a variety of shows in different languages. Aside from the usual suspects like China, Taiwan and South Korea, there are also shows from the Philippines and Thailand.
Even a quick search for "Singapore" throws up some content, like Delilah, Before, a short film directed by Melanie Schiele, as well as an episode of The Kitchen Musical, a musical drama series directed by Chee Kong Cheah.
Although there are Hollywood movies on Viki, there are not that many up-to-date titles. Instead, expect to find classics like The Lone Ranger and The Last Of The Mohicans.
Fans of Viki can also buy the premium Viki Pass for ad-free viewing, higher resolution videos, and access to more content and features.
