Reaching the deaf and hard-of-hearing

According to WHO’s 2021 World Report on Hearing, it is estimated that 1.5 billion people worldwide live with some degree of hearing loss, with 430 million experiencing moderate or higher levels of hearing loss. Closed captions aim at making content accessible to this target audience.

Governments across the world are implementing stricter access service regulations for the provision of closed captions, both on traditional and online media services. Haymillian is familiar with the legalities in each region and is included in the DCMP’s (Described and Captioned Media Program) Captioning Vendors Listing.

Reach people with hearing loss, allowing them to access and fully enjoy your content via our services.

Closed captions created specifically for those who need it

Our Subtitles for the Deaf or Hard-of-Hearing (SDH) and closed captioning services are designed for any type of audiovisual production. We have a proven track record of creating high-quality SDH and closed captions.

Our thorough and accurate work results in subtitles and captions that convey the entirety of the on-screen dialogue, as well as any accompanying sounds that add context to the spoken dialogue.

 Subtitles and captions are generated either from the original script, transcription or by listening to the media asset. The sound descriptions and the captions are then timed to the video.

In addition to providing same language subtitles (SDH) and closed captioning services, we also have the expertise required to deliver a foreign language adaptation of your media allowing you to cater specifically for the deaf and hard-of-hearing. We deliver your SDH and closed caption files in any of the available formats.
