(Inger) Hi, my name is Inger. Inger Rålenius.
I am an advisor at the Dyslexia Association and I, myself, am dyslexic.
(Ester) Do you usually listen to the radio and watch TV?
If so, what programs do you prefer to watch and listen to?
(Inger) I listen to the radio every day. P1 is my favorite station.
I also watch a bit of TV.
News, current issues and nature programs now and then.
(Ester) Do you ever think it’s hard to understand?
(Inger) What I find difficult is when a program is in another language.
In those cases, I would like the subtitles to be read out loud.
Another important thing-
-is to keep down the amount of things going on on the screen at the same time.
I find it irritating if they speak-
-while there are messages scrolling on the bottom and the side.
Lots is happening at once. It is very stressful.
(Ester) On TV, there is a program called “News in easy Swedish”.
Have you watched it, and if so, what do you think of it?
(Inger) I have watched “News in easy Swedish” a few times.
I was happy to find that they were so clear.
There were clear images and clear articulation.
But I prefer the regular news.
And other programs and “Agenda” where you can see in-depth debate.
(Ester) On the radio, there is a program called “Plain Text”.
I know you listen to it. What do you think of it?
(Inger) I have listened to “Plain Text” a few times.
But in my opinion, the issues aren't very diverse.
Naturally, disabilities and healthcare are important topics.
But I would also like to hear about other issues.
About national and foreign policy, economy and other issues.
The reporting was rather shallow.
Not the depth I am looking for.
(Ester) How could TV news be easier for you to understand?
You have mentioned having audio subtitles.
How does that work for you?
(Inger) I know that some programs have subtitles that are read out loud.
Primarily on Play.
But I think it's hard to find them.
I have dedicated a lot of time checking whether-
-a channel has subtitles that are read out loud.
I think it’s confusing.
But when I do find audio subtitles,-
-whether on TV or at the movies,-
-it is absolutely wonderful to use them.
I wish it was available on all channels.
And for movies that are not in Swedish.
I wish audio subtitles were the default.
And that they were easy to find, and standardized.
