Everyday InAccessibility - Today: Robin

"My partner and I are an international #deaf couple. We want to enjoy movies together, each with #subtitles in our own language. But it’s much harder than it should be.

🎬 Cinemas don’t offer dual subtitles, so we rely on technical solutions. Yet, the few available tools are often faulty, not cross-platform, or simply unreliable.

🫠 Why is it so difficult to learn languages and enjoy movies together, accessible?"

The background is dark turquoise. In light pink and white text, it says 'Everyday Inaccessibility.' Below, in a handwritten font, it says 'with Robin.' Above this text is the AccessTech logo. In the bottom left corner, there is a digitally drawn image of Robin in a blue-to-pink gradient. Robin is a white cis male person with short hair.
Image 2: The background is light pink with a dark pink border. In dark text, it says: 'My partner Marcos and I are a deaf international couple, and we love watching movies together. He’s Spanish, and I’m German. We want to have different languages for the subtitles. Should be no issue, right?' Below the text, there is a sketch-style illustration of a popcorn bucket with popcorn spilling out. Image 3: The background is light pink with a dark pink border. In dark text, it says: 'While cinemas don’t provide dual subtitles and access in general, we have to do it on our own. However, watching a movie with dual subtitles has proven to be a real challenge.' Below the text, there is a photo showing a movie playing on a laptop. The screen displays two subtitle tracks in different languages, overlapping each other, making it difficult to read.
Image 4: The background is light pink with a dark pink border. In dark text, it says: 'There are only a few plugins available, but half of them don’t work, and the ones that do aren’t cross-platform. It is frustrating and defeating to have to keep trying something new over and over again. It drains time and energy.' In the bottom right corner, there is a sketch-style illustration of a battery with low energy. Image 5: The background is light pink with a dark pink border. In dark text, it says: 'And when we finally find one that seems to work and start the movie... The subtitles are misaligned, translated incorrectly. This happens too often.' Below the text, there is an image of a laptop screen playing a movie. Two subtitle tracks in different languages are overlapping, making them difficult to read.
The background is dark turquoise. In light-colored text, it says: 'Why can’t it just be... technically simple to learn a language and enjoy?' Below the text, the digital illustration of Robin is shown again.
