What is Digital Accessibility:
Digital Accessibility means that everyone, including people with functional disabilities, have access to digital content.
Videos and podcasts become more and more popular as a medium for education, explanation, and user guidance. Many municipalities and public institutions offer video tutorials or podcasts to help citizens in their daily lives. Unfortunately, people who are deaf or hard of hearing often have no access to videos or podcasts, due to the lack of subtitles or transcriptions.
Luckily, todays’ technology can help to easily create subtitles and transcripts, so that people with functional disabilities can follow content without limitations.
At AmberScript, we offer premium automatic subtitles and transcriptions to public and private sector, customizable for your audience, in 35 languages. Contact us to learn more about our solutions.
How subtitles and transcripts support inclusivity:
At AmberScript we believe that video and audio content should be accessible to everyone – also to people with auditory impairments. If you cannot hear well, that shouldn’t mean that you cannot enjoy videos, animations and podcasts.
The good thing is that technology can help creating subtitles and transcripts, so that people who are deaf or hard of hearing can understand the full scale of video and audio material.
This technology is called ASR (Automatic Speech Recognition) and is designed to transform audio into text. Working together with organizations of deaf students, we specifically tailored our product to fit the needs of people with auditory impairments.
Automatic Subtitles
With the European directive on ‘digital accessibility’, it becomes mandatory for public organizations to make all video and audio content accessible to people with cognitive impairments. Subtitles are the easiest way to make videos and animations accessible to everyone.
Subtitling is usually a manual and time-consuming process. In collaboration with local municipalities and universities, we developed the technology to generate automatic subtitles that make it possible for deaf people to follow video-content easily.
Automatic Transcripts
For some video- or audio content it is easier to provide a text-transcript that represents everything that has been said.
Imagine a lecture in which you quickly want to find a specific topic. Transcripts are searchable texts that represent everything that has been said in a video or audio.
At AmberScript we can provide transcripts for large volumes of audio and video so that large amounts of content can be made digitally accessible to your auditory impaired audience.
