WDR mediagroup digital verantwortet Services für hör- und sehbehinderte Zuschauer
Über den Videotext (Seite 150) können hörbehinderte und gehörlose Zuschauer für unterschiedliche TV-Sendungen Untertitel abrufen. Das Videotext-Angebot reicht von Dokumentationen über Reportagen bis hin zu Live-Sendungen wie "hart aber fair" oder Nachrichten. Insgesamt werden 200.000 Sendeminuten und damit fast 50 Prozent des WDR-Programms untertitelt. Für eine hochwertige Qualität sorgt ein aufwändiges Korrektursystem: Jede Untertitelung durchläuft drei Korrekturphasen. Bei Live-Formaten arbeiten drei Personen an der Untertitelung mit. Mittels Spracherkennung wird der Text diktiert, in einen Untertitel verwandelt, kontrolliert und gesendet. Die redaktionelle Verantwortung liegt beim WDR.
