Abstract
In an era where accessibility is a key concern, this book provides a critical examination of live subtitling, which is essential for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing to access audiovisual media, including television. Through an analysis of subtitles from major Polish news channels, utilizing a blend of established and newly proposed metrics, the author offers a comprehensive overview of the state of live subtitling. The analysis is enriched by engaging with user expectations and integrating theoretical frameworks from Audiovisual Translation an Accessibility Studies. This book not only addresses the technical challenges and variability in quality across broadcasters but also situates live subtitling within a broader discourse on media accessibility. Advocating for regular monitoring and improvement, it aims to enhance live subtitling services globally, making it an essential read for stakeholders across the fields of media, communication, and accessibility.
