Measuring the quality of live subtitles

    Impact: Impact on practice

    Description of impact

    This project was a response to Ofcom's need to address continuing complaints about the quality of live subtitling. After measuring and assessing the vast subtitles corpus, our report (External Review of Measurements) included advice on how to improve the quality of live subtitles, some of which was taken on board by Ofcom and, in turn, broadcasters and service providers.
