“Our project is all about real-time intralingual subtitling. About the provision of the service. The main aim of the project is to create training materials for training real-time intralingual subtitlers. At the moment the situation in Europe is that you have the legislation, you have the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, you have the Audiovisual Media Services Directive, the Accessibility Act, you have all this legislation triggering actually to provide services.”

Interview
Interview with Marcel Bobeldijk, President of the European Federation of Hard of Hearing People.
“It is in our opinion that a human right is also for people to have access to information on a television or a website, and also access to cultural life, movies in the cinemas, plays in theatres, etc.”
Interview
Interview with Estella Oncins, Postdoctoral Researcher at Transmedia Catalonia (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona).
“The stage we are talking about is called Intellectual Output number four, which is bringing together all these skills, competencies and materials in the form of a MOOC course which will allow people to learn the different skills and competencies that you have to have in order to be a velotypist or a respeaker.”
Interview
Interview with Gabriele Sauberer, Vice-President of the European Certification and Qualification Association (ECQA).
“We are doing the same thing for the LTA project, where intralingual real-time respeakers and subtitlers will get a certificate, or certification scheme basically. For the first time they will then be able to show that what they’re doing in practice is complying with European standards.”
