Effects of text chunking on subtitling: A quantitative and qualitative examination.

Our work serves as an assay of the visual impact of text chunking on live (respoken) subtitles. We evaluate subtitles constructed with different chunking methods to determine whether segmentation influences comprehension or otherwise affects the viewing experience.

Sumario:Our work serves as an assay of the visual impact of text chunking on live (respoken) subtitles.
