Digital Surface is pleased to announce that it has completed a first round of work for NHS Choices to enable subtitling on a new generation of video players to be rolled out over the coming weeks. NHS (the UK’s National Health Service) Choices has developed a radical new media initiative to better manage and present a mammoth and ever-growing catalogue of health-related video content across multiple channels.

Subtitling is of course a crucial part of the media experience for deaf and hard-of-hearing who number an estimated 9 million in the UK alone (see the RNID website for more info).

Digital Surface is currently in discussion with NHS Choices regarding further enhancements to their new generation of video players. Watch this space!
