THE ACCESSIBILITY
PROJECT AND SERVICES
4
ACCESSIBILITY OF RTV PROGRAMS
According to the law, RTV SLOVENIA must provide:
1. The production of disability content with intention to raising awareness of
the general public and people with disabilities
2. The production of broadcasts in techniques adapted for sensory disabled.
The law includes explicitly the rights of persons with disabilities but without the
share ratio of accessibility or regulation principles nor standardization by the
State.
In Slovenia, only RTV provides accessibility to the TV content (big production
houses). No other commercial broadcaster does provide such a service. In 2013
the Special Coordinator for the disability content and accessibility was selected.
Since then, we have considerably increased the accessibility.

ACCESSIBILITY - GUIDE PORTAL
In 2014 the Multimedia Centre of RTV
created a special website for accessibility.
Primary considerations were:
• to be simple
• to be exciting
• to be versatile
• to be easy to use.
http://www.dostopno.si
It provides quick and easy access to content in techniques adapted to the blind and
visually impaired, deaf persons and persons with hard of hearing.
The users can browse the archive of broadcasts, which are equipped with interpreters in
Slovenian sign language, as well as programmes that provides subtitles or AD.

ACC SERVICE #1
DATA SERVICE
OPEN & TTX SUBTITLING
8
REMARK (!)
SLOVENIA IS A „SUBTITLING COUNTRY“ AND NOT A DUBBING ONE
TTX SUBTITLING DATA SERVICE IS THEREFORE COMBINED WITH
BURNED-IN SUBTITLING.
9
ACCESSIBILITY Service #1
TTX SUBTITLING (colored) & OPEN SUBTITLING
Available for deaf viewer and ones with heard of hearing. The service is used
for all types of programme content, except for music and live broadcasts.
Subtitles are transmitted over TTX and broadband streaming.
Important TTX pages:
• 777 - list of subtitled programme
• 771 - subtitling for TV SLO 1 (75%)
• 772 - subtitling for TV SLO 2 (65%)
Live subtitling is not yet solved. A speech
recognition would be needed (planned for the
following years).
10
CC (Closed captions / WebVTT) are provided with streaming.
Live CC?
Not yet implemented
CC - Closed captions
11
From Q4/2013 all the content with CC is available in the MMC archive.
http://4d.rtvslo.si
12
CHALLENGE: BETTER USER EXPERIENCE
Procedure:
• Select the TV channel
• Switch on the TTX
• Insert 771/772 for acc. service
If a channel change is needed,
we must first switch off the TTX!
News: An automatization is planned for Q3/2016
13
ACC SERVICE #2
AUDIO SERVICE
AUDIO DESCRIPTION
14
AUDIO DESCRIPTION – AD (over broadcast and broadband)
Service is available for visually impaired and blind (2010) to enable more
genuine experience of happening from the screen.
• AD is used for Slovenian audio visual works, fiction films and documentaries,
which includes relatively less dialogues and more “story” on the screen
• From 2014 films with AD are shown in the regular TV program (SLO2) 1/month
or in the Summer 1/week
• The service is implemented on the primary audio stereo pair
OUR INTENTION: to add a secondary audio stereo with text-to-speech (Q3/2016)
Dubbing ?? – very expensive
15
AD on additional stereo channel:
• allows us more content
• requires additional audio trough the production workflows
• requires extended archiving with additional metadata

AD AUDIO
+ AUDIO
Processing of audio tracks
16
From Q4/2013 all the content with AD is available in the MMC archive.

ACC SERVICE #3
VISUAL SERVICE
SIGN LANGUAGE
18
SIGN LANGUAGE
Available for deaf and hard of hearing viewers to understand the speech and other
audio information associated with the TV picture trough the layout, position,
orientation and movement of hands, fingers and facial expressions.
IMPORTANT:
• Service is delivered in different ways:
• simulcasted on the linear channel
and over the broadband stream
• only over streaming
• The linear channel transmission is executed
on a separate channel (prime time)
TV programme with paid rights are available in the video archive.
19
Sign language interpretation of the main News
20
SIGN LANGUAGE - What we care about:
• The interpreter position and size
• the deaf viewers read lips, view movement and signs
• the interpreter position shall not cover the subtitles
• The size and position of the interpreter is defined in cooperation with
representatives of deaf and hard of hearing - USERS(!).
• We deliver the service with sign language in two ways:
• TV programme with interpreter to the sign language ( Dnevnik)
• TV programme in sign language ( Prisluhnimo tišini)
From 2009/12 - 2013/12 only the daily news broadcast and pre-election
broadcasts were interpreted. Today 20 programme/week=>~1000/year
21
Prisluhnimo tišini – Programme in sign language (>35y)
22
From Q4/2013 all the content with sign language is available in the
MMC archive.

TWO EXAMPLES
OF BEST PRACTICES
MINDSET CHANGE
24
GOOD PRACTICES / EUROVISION
We took part in first ever streaming of EUROVISION
SONG CONTEST with sign language.
No live subtitling
was available at real
time streaming.
It was added
afterwards.
25
GOOD PRACTICES / RADIO
We made first ever sign description of our famous ARS
radio talk show.
