Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) Platform Accessibility Verification Method

Abstract

How can you measure the percentage of sensory accessibility in the new Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) platforms? This investigation aims to answer this research question. For this, a qualitative methodology model based on a content analysis of 37 variables is presented, which have been written based on the Spanish technical regulations UNE 153010 of May 2012 of the Subtitling for deaf people and people with hearing disabilities and UNE 153020 of January 2005 of the Audio description for people with visual disabilities. This method is applicable for cinema, series and short films presented at SVOD and is limited to the accessibility of subtitling for deaf people (CC) and the audio description for blind people.
