eNewyddion - internet and ecommerce news with a Welsh slant

Making audio and video content accessible has long been a challenge and when you’re dealing with webcast screen sizes, simply slapping on subtitles on the video feed doesn’t really cut it.

It’s good to see that Welsh webcast company MultiStream are one of the first organisations to offer a live webcast subtitling service that takes output from a Stenographer and presents a real time transcript of the spoken content along side the video.


The service was developed specifically for Disability Wales conference, and DW used it live whilst the event was on, and I see now that an on demand archive of the conference is also now available.

NOTE - I say this is *one* of the first examples as I was aware that the Disability Rights Commission (DRC) used a similar solution.
