SDH Caption QC Checker

Quality-check SDH (Subtitles for the Deaf and Hard-of-hearing) for reading speed, line length and timing — the accessibility deliverable studios require alongside dubs.

SDH (accessibility) — max 17 CPS, 42 chars/line, 3 lines, 0.833s min, 7s max

SDH includes speaker IDs and sound descriptions on top of dialogue, so it packs more text into the same time — making reading-speed and line-length QC even more important. This checks the mechanical limits (17 CPS, 42 CPL, up to 3 lines) so your accessibility track stays readable, not just complete.
