Access Services Experts Webinar #1: Audibility

This new EBU Access Services Experts webinar series kicks off with a project-based interactive session on audio accessibility. We'll look at innovative solutions to enhance speech and improve audibility for sensory challenged people, principally hearing impaired.

The following projects will be presented:

  • "Fernsehton+" (Dialog +) Pilot Operation: Providing accessibility by means of HbbTV 2 audiosync, by Ingrid Mitterhummer, Technical Officer and Head of Technical Information, Bayerischer Rundfunk
  • "Tydligare tal": Enhanced speech to Improve online audibility, by Erik Hedin, Lead Digital Accessibility, SVT
  • "Bestes Hören”: Listening more but hearing less — how digitalization enables accessibility in broadcasting, by Simone Hollederer, Advisor, Direction of Production and Operation, RBB and Sarah Voice, COO, Mimi Hearing Technologies

Registration is open to EBU Members and Associate Members only.

The EBU Access Services Experts is running this series of short webinars with a focus on digital and audio accessibility throughout 2021 to replace its annual gathering.
