Kommune ’s Post

It was heart-warming to see how this conversation was made accessible by using Sign Language. Another great way to ensure accessibility is to use subtitles. Same-Language subtitling not only ensures Accessibility but also provides an opportunity to develop reading skills. Kudos to Netflix and Ashwini Kulkarni for their efforts to not only dub but also subtitle their content ( in almost 36 languages!). There is enough empirical evidence that Subtitles improve reading skills. Ashwini`s comment that Netflix dubs and subtitles content and brings "India for India" deeply resonates. The credit for the Sign Language during this session goes to Kommune and Roshan Abbas. p.s. This is a tiny video clip of a panel discussion held during #Spokenfest2024 Mumbai Do you use same-language subtitles? #subtitles #accessibility #readingskills #languagedevelopment
