We offer two distinct levels of SDH captioning. This allows you to choose the depth of detail that best suits your content and audience requirements.
This is an enhanced form of captioning specifically designed for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing audience. Specifically, beyond transcribing spoken dialogue, SDH Basic includes essential non-speech elements that are crucial for comprehension. This service provides:
All spoken words.
Clear labeling of who is speaking (e.g., “JOHN:”, “SPEAKER 1:”)
Simple descriptions of music (e.g., [applause], [music playing], [laughter], [doorbell rings], or [explosion]).
To provide comprehensive accessibility for deaf and hard of hearing viewers. This is achieved by including essential non-speech audio cues, focusing on critical auditory context without overly detailed descriptions.
SDH Premium is our most comprehensive SDH service. It offers the highest level of detail and immersion for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing audience. Importantly, it encompasses all elements of SDH Basic. Furthermore, it specifically includes:
Meticulous descriptions of relevant sound effects (e.g., [door creaks], [phone ringing], [glass shatters]) are provided. However, these are only included when essential for understanding the scene. Conversely, obvious or trivial sounds (like footsteps when walking is visible) are excluded to maintain readability.
More descriptive musical cues (e.g., (ominous music swells), (jazz music plays softly)) are added.
Interpretive descriptions of a speaker’s tone of voice or emotional cues (e.g., (whispering), (angrily), (sighs)) are included. These are added when essential for understanding character intent or subtext.
To deliver the most immersive and detailed accessibility experience. This conveys all critical auditory and emotional nuances, ensuring a complete understanding of the content’s atmosphere and emotional depth.
