Hello, my name is Anna Fernández Torné.

3
00:00:20,468 --> 00:00:23,430
I'm a member
of Transmedia Catalonia Research group.

4
00:00:23,590 --> 00:00:25,454
at Universitat Autónoma de Barcelona.

5
00:00:26,037 --> 00:00:27,284
I am a tall woman.

6
00:00:27,444 --> 00:00:30,562
I have brown eyes
and long brown curly hair.

7
00:00:31,098 --> 00:00:35,086
I am wearing a black jersey
and I am standing against a white wall.

8
00:00:35,666 --> 00:00:39,280
At present, I am involved
in a European project called EASIT.

9
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:43,845
EASIT stands for Easy Access
for Social Inclusion Training.

10
00:00:44,276 --> 00:00:47,006
It deals with making
information easy to understand

11
00:00:47,166 --> 00:00:50,526
in audiovisual media
and audiovisual access services.

12
00:00:50,970 --> 00:00:54,666
The project started
on the 1st of September, 2018,

13
00:00:54,826 --> 00:00:58,662
and will finish
on the 31st of August, 2021.

14
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,726
In EASIT we have taken
different steps so far.

15
00:01:01,886 --> 00:01:03,741
We've surveyed across Europe

16
00:01:03,901 --> 00:01:06,368
on easy-to-understand language
training and practice.

17
00:01:06,830 --> 00:01:09,316
We have defined
3 new professional profiles

18
00:01:09,476 --> 00:01:11,481
and have identified their skills.

19
00:01:12,019 --> 00:01:15,736
These are: expert
in easy-to-understand subtitles,

20
00:01:15,896 --> 00:01:18,655
expert in easy-to-understand
audio description

21
00:01:18,815 --> 00:01:22,141
and expert in easy-to-understand
audiovisual journalism.

22
00:01:22,539 --> 00:01:25,687
We have also designed
an academic curriculum proposal

23
00:01:25,847 --> 00:01:27,078
and a MOOC proposal,

24
00:01:27,390 --> 00:01:30,562
and now we have just started
to create materials

25
00:01:30,722 --> 00:01:31,739
to train them.

26
00:01:32,279 --> 00:01:35,442
These materials will be
on the project website for free.

27
00:01:35,784 --> 00:01:39,122
In fact, I invite you
to visit the EASIT website.

28
00:01:39,282 --> 00:01:42,553
It is in 8 languages
and is written in easy language.

29
00:01:43,056 --> 00:01:45,943
It offers information
on different modes.

30
00:01:46,103 --> 00:01:48,655
There is a human voice recording
of the text,

31
00:01:48,815 --> 00:01:51,322
which can be downloaded
for each page and language.

32
00:01:51,987 --> 00:01:56,161
And each website page has
an embedded machine-voiced web reader,

33
00:01:56,321 --> 00:01:59,882
which highlights both the sentence
the voice is about to read

34
00:02:00,042 --> 00:02:02,789
and the word
the voice is pronouncing at the moment.

35
00:02:03,164 --> 00:02:06,317
Check it out and you will learn
more about the project.

36
00:02:06,477 --> 00:02:07,622
Thank you.
