How do people with hearing impairments see YouTube? No, how about access to various videos, such as news and information? Many hearing-impaired people give up eventually because it is difficult to understand too much video content. There are many subtitles, but because it is a list of words, it is difficult to convey meaning, and it is not easy to distinguish sounds due to overlapping background music, sound effects, and narration. This is why more barrier-free content is needed so that even if you can't hear it well, you won't get in the way of enjoying the video.

Sves News also introduced a small change to empower it. I've been putting 'barrier-free subtitles', which is helpful for readers with hearing impairments, since last month. Some of the bright readers pointed out that it was 'a typo,' and some people already noticed that it was a barrier-free subtitle. ! There are still many areas that need to be improved, but we will try harder to reach more people.
