SDH Subtitling (Deaf & Hard of Hearing)

SDH subtitles for film, TV, streaming and corporate video — speech plus sound effects and speaker cues, delivered to broadcast and platform specifications in 100+ languages.

SDH subtitling for full accessibility

SDH (subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing) go beyond standard subtitles: alongside the dialogue, they convey sound effects, music and speaker identification, so deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers get the full experience.

GoLocalise produces SDH to broadcast and streaming specifications — correctly timed, positioned and formatted — and can deliver same-language SDH or SDH translated into other languages.

SDH is increasingly required by broadcasters, streaming platforms and accessibility regulations; we make compliance straightforward.
