The study looks into the efficiency of the use of speech recognition in live subtitling for television, and the cognitive writing processes they involve. Logging software is used for the analysis of subtitling procedures, in which a respeaker makes use of speech technology to produce subtitles following both the block and the scrolling methods. The ultimate purpose of the project is to improve logging and to elaborate a procedure for the quality improvement of live subtitling.

Speech technology nowadays serves as a valuable means to provide real-time captioning for live television programs. The Flemish public television (VRT) makes ample use of this innovative technique which has, however, its limitations. The project's goal is to improve accuracy and speed of intralingual subtitling through speech recognition and to help developing an effective training program for the operators (respeakers) involved in the process of transferring audio-input into good subtitles. Special attention will be paid to the cognitive load that is caused by this type of subtitle production.
