Subtitling
Our subtitle services are designed to enhance the accessibility of your video content, aligning with WCAG guidelines and success criteria 1.2 to ensure inclusivity for viewers who are deaf, hard of hearing, or hearing impaired. Subtitles offer a textual representation of spoken dialogue, allowing audiences to follow the narrative and important audio cues or sound effects. By translating auditory information into readable text, our subtitles make your content accessible to a wider audience, especially for those who rely on visual aids to fully engage with the media.
While subtitles, open captions, and closed captions all aim to improve accessibility, each serves a unique purpose. Subtitles focus on converting spoken words into text, often used for translating languages or enhancing clarity in noisy environments. Closed captions go a step further, incorporating additional details like sound effects and speaker identification, with the flexibility to be turned on or off by the viewer. Open captions, however, are permanently embedded into the video, ensuring that captions are always visible and cannot be removed. Understanding these distinctions allows you to tailor your content to meet diverse accessibility needs, ensuring it is both effective and engaging for every viewer.
