Fighting Health Inequalities

Advancing Inclusivity with Specialised Subtitling Solutions

Client Profile: At GoLocalise, our commitment to inclusivity is at the heart of our services. We had the privilege of collaborating with a client dedicated to storytelling with a purpose—focusing on narratives that initiate change and challenge health inequalities within minority communities.

Project Overview: The task was to enhance a video with English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing (SDH), a crucial addition to ensure the content was accessible to all. Our client’s project was not just a campaign but a movement towards greater health equity.

Our Approach: Upon project initiation, we tapped into our network of specialist subtitlers with expertise in English and SDH. Understanding the importance of accessibility features, such as speaker identification and non-speech auditory information, was paramount to our approach.

Execution: Our linguists embarked on the subtitling process with consideration for the specific needs of the deaf and hard of hearing audience. Adhering to SDH guidelines, we crafted subtitles that were inclusive of all auditory elements, ensuring a comprehensive viewing experience.

Quality Assurance: The project underwent a meticulous quality control process to confirm adherence to reading speeds and character limitations, as well as the accurate representation of all audio cues in the subtitles.

Outcome: The successful integration of SDH subtitles expanded the video’s reach, making it a valuable resource for those seeking assistance in the context of health disparities. The client’s satisfaction with the final product was a reflection of our shared vision for a more inclusive world.

Witness Inclusive Storytelling: A snippet of the SDH subtitled video is available for viewing, demonstrating our dedication to creating content that speaks to everyone. It is through such endeavours that we continue to break down barriers and facilitate access to important messages.
