Here is a new article from me on usability and subtitling. I hope it's interesting to both researchers and practitioners, and if anyone is interested, I'd love to test the concepts in practice one day!

I'm pleased to share that my article on user-centered subtitling has been published by the Journal of Audiovisual Translation. The aim of the article is to explore how the ideas of usability and user-centeredness could help us create audience-friendly subtitles. jatjournal.org/index.php/ja...

Both logos appear at the top followed by large black text that says "Practitioners and researchers: Things I've always wanted to ask..." Smaller black text then says, "Thursday 24 April 1:30 - 3 pm UK time, Zoom, Join SubComm and SUBTLE for an informal chat and networking opportunity between AVT practitioners and researchers". Finally, there are two links: subcomm.co.uk and subtle-subtitlers.org.uk, with a graphic of a lilac film reel on the right.
