LiveTextAccess.

3
00:00:13,102 --> 00:00:16,516
Training for real-time
intralingual subtitlers.

4
00:00:17,867 --> 00:00:21,359
This is Unit 1.
Understanding accessibility.

5
00:00:21,945 --> 00:00:26,711
Element 3. Embedding accessibility
in working environments.

6
00:00:27,113 --> 00:00:28,409
In this video lecture,

7
00:00:28,710 --> 00:00:32,839
we want to share a short video
from Høreforeningen,

8
00:00:33,339 --> 00:00:36,331
the Danish association
of Hard of Hearing people.

9
00:00:36,636 --> 00:00:40,690
The video explains
how accessibility is provided

10
00:00:40,991 --> 00:00:44,058
in online settings
with real-time subtitles.

11
00:00:44,359 --> 00:00:46,198
My name is Piero Cavallo

12
00:00:46,499 --> 00:00:50,464
from the Internationale Hochschule
SDI München, in Germany.

13
00:00:51,073 --> 00:00:53,034
I have prepared this video lecture

14
00:00:53,335 --> 00:00:57,761
in collaboration with Rocío Bernabé Caro,
also from SDI München,

15
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:02,300
and the European Federation
of Hard of Hearing, in short, EFHOH.

16
00:01:02,675 --> 00:01:04,823
On completion of the training sequence,

17
00:01:05,124 --> 00:01:10,120
you will be able to advise customers
about how to best set up

18
00:01:10,464 --> 00:01:13,456
an accessible real-time
working environment

19
00:01:13,870 --> 00:01:15,831
for persons with hearing loss

20
00:01:16,253 --> 00:01:19,691
in the trained working contexts
and settings.

21
00:01:20,104 --> 00:01:21,105
To achieve that,

22
00:01:21,406 --> 00:01:25,613
we will show testimonials
and interviews of professionals.

23
00:01:26,105 --> 00:01:27,784
The agenda is very short.

24
00:01:28,152 --> 00:01:32,159
First, I will give you
some general information about the video,

25
00:01:32,460 --> 00:01:33,917
before showing it.

26
00:01:34,605 --> 00:01:37,519
Finally, we will end this video lecture
with a summary.

27
00:01:38,042 --> 00:01:38,901
First of all,

28
00:01:39,202 --> 00:01:42,152
let me give you some information
before watching the video.

29
00:01:42,753 --> 00:01:46,628
The video you are about to watch
has Danish audio

30
00:01:46,929 --> 00:01:49,363
and has English subtitles.

31
00:01:50,105 --> 00:01:54,722
The video collects the testimonials
of Mette Lundgaard,

32
00:01:55,081 --> 00:01:59,425
a web and communication assistant
from Høreforeningen,

33
00:01:59,909 --> 00:02:02,440
and of end-users

34
00:02:02,741 --> 00:02:07,831
who have used real-time subtitles
in different online settings.

35
00:02:08,527 --> 00:02:13,511
For example, in school
and in working environments.

36
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,112
We would like to thank them

37
00:02:16,413 --> 00:02:19,066
for providing us
with the necessary rights.

38
00:02:20,011 --> 00:02:22,097
Ok, let’s watch the video now!

39
00:02:22,450 --> 00:02:33,490
[Music]

40
00:02:33,770 --> 00:02:36,303
[Mette] In Denmark, there are around
800,000 people

41
00:02:36,604 --> 00:02:39,350
with varying types of hearing loss (HL).

42
00:02:39,651 --> 00:02:42,022
When you have an HL, it may be difficult

43
00:02:42,323 --> 00:02:45,829
to follow online meetings
or virtual events

44
00:02:46,135 --> 00:02:47,792
at the same level
as those with a typical hearing.

45
00:02:48,210 --> 00:02:49,690
This is why the Danish Association
of Hard of Hearing

46
00:02:49,991 --> 00:02:52,006
now offers remote speech-to-text (STT)
for online meetings.

47
00:02:52,307 --> 00:02:53,643
This is how it works:

48
00:02:53,944 --> 00:02:56,670
a speech-to-text Interpreter (STTI)
will participate in the online event.

49
00:02:56,971 --> 00:03:00,979
The STTI shares his screen
with the other participants

50
00:03:01,378 --> 00:03:04,612
who will then be able to follow
the STT on the screen.

51
00:03:04,970 --> 00:03:09,079
Hi there and welcome to this meeting.
Are you all able to see the STT?

52
00:03:09,782 --> 00:03:13,227
[Man] For me, it is a tremendous help

53
00:03:13,751 --> 00:03:18,122
with the STT
that I kind of get it twice.

54
00:03:18,423 --> 00:03:22,009
So if I have misheard something,
I can look to the text

55
00:03:22,310 --> 00:03:25,165
and have it repeated that way once more.

56
00:03:25,466 --> 00:03:28,530
[Mette] It is of great importance,
that all can participate

57
00:03:28,831 --> 00:03:32,063
in the community of online
meetings and virtual events.

58
00:03:32,364 --> 00:03:33,852
It may be a social meeting,

59
00:03:34,153 --> 00:03:35,747
but it could also be a
professional meeting,

60
00:03:36,048 --> 00:03:40,290
or meetings at your work,
and the STT helps to ensure this.

61
00:03:40,591 --> 00:03:43,114
[Woman 1] It is important for me
to have remote STT at my job,

62
00:03:43,415 --> 00:03:45,376
because I participate in meetings,

63
00:03:45,677 --> 00:03:48,188
where I need to feel assured
that I follow what is being said.

64
00:03:48,489 --> 00:03:51,563
If I start getting things wrong
too much,

65
00:03:51,970 --> 00:03:53,899
then I cannot do my job well enough.

66
00:03:54,690 --> 00:03:58,477
[Mette] Young people in education,
often experience their lectures

67
00:03:59,180 --> 00:04:00,949
are carried out online.

68
00:04:01,274 --> 00:04:06,050
And we know, they really benefit
from the remote STT.

69
00:04:06,351 --> 00:04:09,530
[Woman 2] If I do not hear
everything said in the forum,

70
00:04:09,860 --> 00:04:15,387
then I can look down to my computer
and read what they are talking about.

71
00:04:15,688 --> 00:04:18,368
In that respect, it is really important
for me to use the remote STT

72
00:04:18,669 --> 00:04:20,708
to have equal terms with all others
in the educational settings.

73
00:04:21,009 --> 00:04:24,176
[Mette] All that a participant needs
in an online meeting is

74
00:04:24,477 --> 00:04:28,530
that you either have a computer
with a camera and sound,

75
00:04:28,831 --> 00:04:32,590
or an iPad, a tablet, or a smartphone.

76
00:04:32,891 --> 00:04:34,641
[Man] I am very positive

77
00:04:35,024 --> 00:04:36,868
about how the online meetings
are carried out,

78
00:04:37,180 --> 00:04:41,709
and I recommend it to everyone I meet.

79
00:04:42,010 --> 00:04:46,650
[Woman 1] Even if you kind of think,
"No, I am not really a user of STT",

80
00:04:47,126 --> 00:04:48,970
then I recommend to try it out.

81
00:04:49,345 --> 00:04:52,942
I think you will experience
your shoulders come down

82
00:04:53,243 --> 00:04:56,399
and you can relax a bit more,
which gives you more energy

83
00:04:56,700 --> 00:04:57,790
also after the meeting.

84
00:04:58,091 --> 00:05:00,676
[Mette] Our experience is
that it is possible to establish

85
00:05:00,977 --> 00:05:05,298
some stronger communities
by meeting online this way.

86
00:05:05,599 --> 00:05:08,352
If you like to know more
about remote STT,

87
00:05:08,653 --> 00:05:12,278
you can visit the association's website
where you will find more information.

88
00:05:12,579 --> 00:05:14,360
You can also call us on the phone,

89
00:05:14,661 --> 00:05:17,730
and we can explain more
about how it works.

The summary.

92
00:05:24,642 --> 00:05:25,860
To briefly sum up,

93
00:05:26,161 --> 00:05:28,595
we can say that real-time subtitles

94
00:05:28,896 --> 00:05:34,353
really help persons with Hearing Loss
to follow online events in an equal way.

95
00:05:35,322 --> 00:05:41,360
These events can be working meetings,
cultural events, lectures, etc.

96
00:05:42,275 --> 00:05:46,673
We have also seen that it is easy
to get real-time subtitles.

97
00:05:47,243 --> 00:05:52,408
All you need is a computer,
or a tablet, or a mobile phone.
