Service: Automation of subtitling videos and audios - Improving accessibility of public websites

Responsible organisation: Finnish Tax Administration (FTA) (Central-Government)

The solution relates to the directive (EU) 2016/2102 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 October 2016 on the accessibility of the websites and mobile applications of public sector bodies. The technical solution is intended for subtitling public and internal videos and audios by utilizing Microsoft's Azure cloud computing technology - speech-to-text services and text analytics. The subtitling service is automated in such a way that the user downloads the recording to be subtitled via the web interface and receives an e-mail when the subtitling is completed. The subtitle file (.srt) is returned to the user.
