Final project conference
9 July 2021 – Online
EU Project Ref: 2018-1-DE01-KA203-004218
Respeakers, velotypists, live captioners and real-time subtitlers, speech-to-text reporters and interpreters, and all related professionals are invited to this one-day event on real-time intralingual subtitling.
Live Text Access (LTA) is an EU funded project that tackles the current need of an open-source certified training program with harmonised competence-based modules and quantified credits for higher educational (ECTS) and vocational (ECVETS) training.
At this last event, LTA partners will report about the final stage of the project and give an overview about the achievements so far. They will present the elaborated materials, and outline the importance of the quality assessment.
The LTA certificate will be explained and an overview of the developments in the field will be provided. Furthermore, a live speech-to-text competition will be part of the event. The program also includes speeches that will approach the view of the end-users of speech-to-text-services. And during the networking sessions, participants will have the opportunity to exchange their views and ideas on current developments.
A live speech-to-text competition will take place too! Take the challenge!
The participation is free. Registration is required
