Rethinking Subtitles for Deaf Audiences

Our recent research shows that Deaf people aren’t getting an equal experience to hearing people in film. Where do we go from here? We have some ideas.

for everyone discovering caption advocacy, this is a paper I did about rethinking caption design. We could do so much if captions were more than an afterthought!

Because I’m doing a project about accessibility, I‘m conscious of how many financial, physical, and educational barriers exist in academia. With that in mind, I wanna share some ideas from my conference paper here, where there are many people impacted by this research.

Thanks to cross-border hits like 'Squid Game,' the global subtitling industry is busier than ever, but the vast quantity of new programs has led to harsh deadlines and reduced wages: "There is a lot more work but the prices are going down" thr.cm/rwses9n

We couldn't agree with this more! Also, the more #venues plan their #access, the more promotion a performance or event gets, translating to more bums on seats. #access #livesubtitles #captions – at Lewisham, London

A fantastic project using #creativecaptioning & #audiodescription to enhance access to theatre. With all kinds of techniques I have imagined and more. Would hearing/non-blind audiences accept this kind of #subtitling for foreign films? #creativesubtitling youtu.be/MjEo3UL_Zl4

Dear #gamedev/#indiedev, please take this image as a call to action. Tiny text is the #accessibility issue I see complained about more than any other, and it's getting worse. There are now legal requirements for it too (CVAA). Please consider sensible defaults & scaleable text.
