If you are interested in introducing technologies you already know into the work of your organization or want to start your own development, we can help — with technology, implementation or consulting.
Conducting cognitive research
Cognitive research is the main focus of the League’s work. ELCR leads several laboratories that use high-tech equipment to measure human behavior during certain types of activity (for example, when watching audiovisual content). Such studies make possible to determine:
- Which type of localization is more suitable for the target audience
- Whether your product is properly adapted to the needs of the target audience
- If the digital accessibility of your content meets the standards (for example, audio description or subtitles for the hard of hearing)
- How effective the information is presented in an audiovisual content (for example, the use of subtitles in video games)
- And many more research that can help Russian and foreign content producers improve the quality of their audio / video content, games and software
Development of professional standards in the field of digital accessibility and audiovisual translation
Members of the Eurasian League of Cognitive Studies worked on several professional standards (including “Specialist in Translation and Media Accessibility: Competence Framework”, 2021).
Research in the field of digital accessibility and audiovisual translation is always in progress, hence the League continues to attract the most experienced experts to update existing professional standards and create new ones in this and related areas.
