Subtitles

Text translations of spoken video content usually on 2 lines at the base of the screen, subtitles enable you to preserve your message while accounting for local and cultural differences.

Captions

Typically in the same language as the audio track, captions make sure people with hearing impairments and those watching in noisy environments can understand all your audio content. Captions may include descriptions of sound effects, music, and character identification.

SDH Subtitles

SDH or 'Subtitles for the deaf or hard-of-hearing,',are ideal when launching content to an international audience with hearing impairments. SDH subtitles, much like captions, include descriptions of sound effects, music, and character identification.
