Velotyping
Since 2005, French law has required all public events to be accessible to deaf and hearing-impaired people. Efforts have been put in place for televised events – sign language and subtitles are provided live in real time.
But are we really talking about subtitles? In the case of live events, what we mean is velotype. This is a method transcribing in real time what a speaker says while limiting the risk of errors.
How does it work?
Instead of typing letter by letter, the keyboard, which works on the same principle as a piano, allows the operator to press several keys at once, composing chords that correspond to syllables. Built-in software converts these chords into words. The text appears word by word and can be read instantly.
This technique should not be confused with stenotype, which is used to transcribe live press conferences, like at certain sports events. Stenotype involves typing phonetically what is said, on location, and can be combined with voice recognition. The text is then read and corrected by a professional who produces a report or an article with a delay.
