  1. Serveis Emergents d’Accessibilitat Pilar Orero Testing accessibility across Europe

  2. Testing across Europe • Belgium  Bilingual: Flemish & French • Germany  Monolingual - Dubbing • Italy  Monolingual - Dubbing • Poland  Monolingual – Lectoring/ voice-over • Spain  Bilingual – Dubbing • Danmark  Monolingual - Subtitling • UK  Monolingual -

  3. Results lead to a paradox: Comprehension tests across EU tell us subtitle speed shouldn’t go beyond 150 wpm. While User associations lobby for 180 wpm or more Subtitles 1

  4. Subtitles 2 Subtitle speed of 150 wpm  split attention 50% time reading visual information 50% time reading subtitles Subtitle speed of 180 wpm split attention 30% time reading visual information 70% time reading subtitles Comprehension suffers badly

  5. Reading PatternsHearing/Deaf

  6. Live subtitles Display issue 1 Word by word  less delay Reading subtitles at 180 wpm means 10% reading visual information 90% reading subtitles Comprehension severely impaired

  7. Live subtitles Display issue 2 Subtitles by blocks Easier reading More time delay in the display Comprehension severely impaired because of delay

  15. Live subtitling Spelling mistakes/typos, etc are less important for comprehension than time delay This applies across Europe Public opinion and user associations agree - both are very critical of live subtitling

  16. Subtitles across EU Lack of pan-EU guideliness/standards regarding subtitle presentation and format: • Colour • Use of capital letters • Use of italics • Character identification • No. of words

  17. Subtitles across EU Major criticism regarding live subtitling due to lack of awareness as to how subtitles are produced and broadcast

  18. Audio description Guidelines to create AD are now published in most EU countries AD can be translated, in much the same way as subtitles or poetry is translated.

  19. Audio description Lack of awareness at all levels: • Users • Associations • Broadcasters • Social services • Families

  20. Other services tested • Slow reproduction subtitles • Clean audio • AD over IPTV in 5 different scenarios Extra services RAI – Sign language over iphone UAB – AD, SDH, etc over android
