LiveTextAccess. Training for real-time intralingual subtitlers.
This is Unit 1. Understanding accessibility.
Element 2. Target users and their needs.
This video lecture shows job-related expressions in International Sign.
The signs we show can be useful for real-time subtitlers
when communicating with their customers.
On completion of the project,
we will also have translations of this video
in different native sign languages,
for instance, Dutch, British English,
Danish, Flemish, German, Italian, Spanish, etc.
My name is Rocío Bernabé Caro
from the Internationale Hochschule SDI München, in Germany.
I have prepared this video lecture
in collaboration with the European Federation of Hard of Hearing,
in short, EFHOH.
On completion of the training sequence,
you will be able to sign some job-related expressions in International Sign.
We would like to thank Filip Verhelst for having made this video possible.
The agenda is very short.
We just want to point out some general characteristics
of International Sign before we show you the video.
Let's take a look at these characteristics.
The first characteristic of International Sign, in short IS,
is that IS itself is not a native language.
What I mean is that IS is not spoken in a community.
Conversely, IS is often used to communicate
in situations when persons from different countries come together,
for instance, at international meetings, or conferences,
or when traveling.
In this sense, IS was developed to communicate across sign languages.
This shows in the fact that IS uses grammar and vocabulary
from all different native sign languages.
IS also uses sounds, as is the case in native sign languages.
Speakers of IS also articulate words and syllables
with the mouth while signing.
As in native sign languages,
sometimes the articulation does not correspond one-to-one to a word.
Instead, the articulation supports the translation of a sign.
Let's watch the video now!
The video is in IS.
We have added English subtitles.
The subtitles provide a translation of the question or the expression in IS
and are not a word-by-word transcript of the signs.
The video will take you through different topics.
First, some colloquial sentences.
Then, some practical questions
about end-users' preferences concerning the display of subtitles.
After that, you will learn words and expressions for virtual meetings
and, lastly, the numbers and how to count.
