LiveTextAccess: Training for
real-time intralingual subtitlers.

3
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,680
This is unit 3, IT competence.

4
00:00:21,080 --> 00:00:26,080
In this presentation, we will be
dealing with Element 2: Output tools.

5
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,560
In this lecture we will talk about
the output tools

6
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,520
used by real-time
intralingual subtitlers

7
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:35,720
in different working contexts.

8
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:40,880
The materials for this presentation
have been created by Sub-Ti Access,

9
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,960
an accessibility
service provider from Italy.

10
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,440
My name is Enrico Pigliacampo,

11
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:50,000
I am an Italian man
with a beard and short hair.

12
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,720
I will be displayed in a box
at the top right corner of each slide.

13
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,880
The learning outcome
for this presentation

14
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:03,920
is that the trainee can explain
the advantages of output software

15
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,880
by the provision
of the real-time services

16
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,160
and in the different
LTA working contexts.

17
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,600
The first part of this presentation
will be an introduction

18
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,240
to the working contexts
we will take in consideration.

19
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:20,920
In the second part,

20
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,880
we will talk about output tools
in the different working contexts.

21
00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:29,400
We will now introduce
the working contexts

22
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,760
take into consideration
in the LTA project

23
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:37,640
and we will see in which working
contexts most subtitlers work

24
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,520
in among the ones who answered
to our survey we created

25
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,720
to gather information
about output tools.

26
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:51,320
Since its beginning, the LTA project
has focused on 5 working contexts:

27
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,680
cultural events,
parliamentary assemblies,

28
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,920
broadcasts,
workplace and education.

29
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:03,640
In a survey created to collect
information about output tools,

30
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,080
we also asked subtitlers

31
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:10,200
to tell us about the working contexts
in which they operate.

32
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,440
They could choose
one or several answers

33
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:18,760
out of the working contexts
mentioned in the previous slide.

34
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:24,160
There was also an "other" option,
for people to add other contexts.

35
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:26,840
These were the results:

36
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:33,400
Cultural events: 23 answers, 57.5%

37
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:40,040
Parliamentary assemblies:
13 answers, 32.5%.

38
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,960
Broadcasts: 12 answers, 30%.

39
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:49,520
Workplace: 30 answers, 75%.

40
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,240
Education: 30 answers, 75%.

41
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:58,280
Other: 19 answers, 47.5%.

42
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,760
Those who answered "other"
specified the following contexts:

43
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,320
court, police,
psychological settings, healthcare,

44
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,760
charitable sector,
hotlines and phone calls.

45
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,960
In the second part
of the presentation,

46
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:18,080
we will talk about the output tools
in different working contexts

47
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,880
focusing on software and
the advantages of using them.

48
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,480
In cultural events, subtitles
may be displayed on a screen

49
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,720
in the room where
the event takes place

50
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,840
for the whole audience to see,

51
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,080
or they can be
displayed on specific devices

52
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,360
for those who require the service.

53
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,200
If subtitles are shown
to the whole audience,

54
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,280
you need a specific
subtitling software programme

55
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,240
that enables you
to set up the service

56
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:50,280
in accordance with the requirements
of the event organisers.

57
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,720
Text on Top is one
such software programme.

58
00:03:55,960 --> 00:04:00,120
If the subtitles are shown
only to individuals who require them,

59
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,560
they can be displayed on tablets,

60
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,880
notebooks or smartphones
through an app.

61
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,800
Using subtitling software,
such as Text on Top,

62
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:11,920
is always the best option,

63
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,880
but in this second scenario

64
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:18,440
generic software that can be shared
with the user is also a possibility,

65
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,240
such as Google Doc.

66
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,640
If the event is streamed live,

67
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,760
you need dedicated
subtitling software

68
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,000
that can be connected
with the streaming platform.

69
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,960
Parliamentary meetings
are usually streamed live

70
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,000
on streaming platforms or on TV

71
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,480
and they usually require real-time
subtitles to make them accessible.

72
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:45,640
In this case, you need software
that connects to the streaming platform

73
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,520
or the system
of the broadcasting company.

74
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,560
For this, you need
professional subtitling software

75
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,280
such as WinCaps or
the PerVoice Subtitling Station.

76
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,920
Many software programmes
also enable users

77
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:03,120
to download a transcript of
the subtitles at the end of the meeting

78
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,000
that can be used
for reporting purposes.

79
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:12,160
If you work for television,
you will have to send your subtitles

80
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,840
to the system of
the broadcasting company.

81
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,400
You need a professional
software programme

82
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,000
that connects easily
to the broadcasting company system

83
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,200
and that can adapt
subtitle characteristics

84
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,440
to the client’s guidelines.

85
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:32,080
One of the most commonly used
software programme for TV broadcasts

86
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:36,200
is FAB Subtitler,
but it is not the only one.

87
00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:42,200
In the workplace, usually subtitles
are meant for individual users.

88
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,640
They read them on their tablets,
notebooks or smartphones.

89
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,400
You can use professional software,

90
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:54,000
but also generic software not developed
specifically for subtitling,

91
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,840
such as a Google Docs file
that can be shared with the client,

92
00:05:59,280 --> 00:06:03,120
or Microsoft Word, by sharing
your screen with the end user.

93
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,600
Working in education contexts

94
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,640
is very similar to the work
you do in workplaces,

95
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:15,000
the difference being that end users
are students in schools or universities.

96
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,400
They usually read
the subtitles individually

97
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,560
and general software programmes
can be used.

98
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,360
There are also professional
software programmes

99
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,680
created for real-time
subtitling in education,

100
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,640
such as Respeaker Online
created by Swiss TXT,

101
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,200
that also enable students
to chat with the subtitler

102
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,760
and insert notes
while the text is being created.

103
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,320
They are also useful

104
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:44,160
if the transcript can be used
to study after the lesson.

105
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:46,760
Summary.

106
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:52,040
To summarise, each context
has its own characteristics

107
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:57,160
that need to be taken into consideration
when choosing the output tools.

108
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:01,280
These tools must help you
meet the needs of the end users

109
00:07:01,280 --> 00:07:04,080
and improve
the quality of your service.

110
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:06,200
Exercises.

111
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:11,000
Read “Results of the LTA survey
on output tools”

112
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,480
and identify in the list
of software programmes

113
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,880
three programmes
for each setting

114
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:21,040
that has the best features
for that specific situation.
