Contribution
Thanks to the 64 participants who gave their opinion on the quality of closed captioning and/or sign language prototypes developed in the framework of the ROSETTA project.
We organized two group interview (focus groups) evaluation sessions by videoconference:
- a first phase from January to July 2021
- a second phase from September to October 2021
as well as online surveys conducted from September to November 2021.
Participation was voluntary.
The data collected during the user evaluations are strictly confidential and used exclusively by the LUTIN members (Computer Science Laboratory for Mechanics and Engineering Sciences) assigned to the project.
