In this session we're going to talk about a piece of work we did in the BBC to try to establish how big subtitle, or closed caption, text should be, based on mathematical theory, user research, the art of the possible, and user monitoring. I'm Nigel, and this is Ed. If you want to look at these slides, you can find them and other BBC presentations from CSUN at this URL bbc.github.io/csun and follow the link.
