A comprehensive guide to the theory and practice of captioning and subtitling.

Captioning and Subtitling for d/Deaf and Hard of Hearing Audiences is a comprehensive guide to the theory and practice of captioning and subtitling, with examples and exercises at the end of each chapter.

About the Author :
Soledad Zárate is Lecturer at UCL, where she convenes and teaches the module Subtitling and Captioning for d/Deaf and Hard of Hearing People as part of the MSc in Translation and Technology (Audiovisual). Her main area of research is subtitling for deaf children, which she studied for her PhD at UCL, completing in 2014. She launched a captioning service at the Puppet Theatre Barge (London) in 2016 and she is currently in charge of providing captions for their productions throughout the year.

Review :

'Zárate is both an experienced SDH practitioner and a skilled researcher, and she visibly excels at combining both roles in this monograph.'
Hikma

'A valuable contribution to both Translation Studies and Accessibility Studies since it deals with [subtitling for the d/Deaf and hard of hearing] SDH as an [audiovisual translation] AVT modality in its own right and describes its intended users in a thorough manner. For that reason, it is likely to become a reference textbook in these fields. The fact that an open access version of the book is available from the University College London Press website is also remarkable. This makes the book more easily reachable by different stakeholders incorporating access services in their cultural projects, which speaks of the potential social impact of the publication.'
The Journal of Specialised Translation (JoSTrans)

'Zárate and her book will be a welcome ally to the captioning cause.' Choice
