91Èȱ¬ web show gets online subtitles

Post categories:

Vaughan | 00:00 UK time, Friday, 25 November 2005

If you're deaf or hearing impaired, and keen on desirable items of consumer electronics - mmm, shiny! - then you may like to know that the 91Èȱ¬ NEWS 24 technology lifestyle programme (also shown on 91Èȱ¬ ONE and 91Èȱ¬ TWO) is running a five-week trial of online subtitles for the video stream of the show on its website, as part of an accessibility project. It's the first time that the 91Èȱ¬ has done a structured trial like this, asking directly for feedback from the audience. It's also a new technology, and if it's deemed successful then online subtitles will be rolled out to lots of other programmes in the future.

You can find the link to the video stream on the Click Online , where there's also more about the subtitles trial and the form to send in your comments. Plus, you can find out about the background to the whole project in from the 91Èȱ¬ News website's disability correspondent, Geoff Adams-Spink.

But most of all, get over to the Click Online site, watch the subtitles in action, and tell them what you think!
