The services will be tracked along 2009 through specific tests taking advantage of thealready established communication with users associations, and a pool of individualsthat regularly maintain contact with and give feedback to the accessibility department.These two accessibility services have already started and are going to reach a stablestatus of exploitation and growing.3.2 Universities and the mature access services evaluatedUniversities had planned to check two mature services: Subtitling for the Deaf and Hardof Hearing (SDH) and Audio Description (AD).One of the most common problems often attributed to Subtitling for the Deaf andHard-of-Hearing (SDH) both as a research discipline and as a service for the viewersis the absence of a) a common standard within and across countries and b) activeconsultation with the Deaf and hard-of-hearing audience. The study proposed in thisproject is an attempt to resort to the latter as a means to explore the possibility ofachieving the former. With this objective in mind, researchers from UniversiteitAntwerpen (Belgium), Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II (Italy), HellenicOpen University (Greece), Roehampton University (UK), Warsaw University (Poland),Copenhaguen University (Denmark), and Universidad Autònoma de Barcelona (Spain)have carried out experiments in seven different languages to examine the viewers’preferences with regard to four technical parameters of SDH:· Font and sizePage 10
