Reception studies are frequently used in audio description research to elicit preferences of the visually impaired about certain aspects and level of acceptance of various solutions. However, this research method is characterised by limitations, which are discussed in this article as regards the participants and the design of reception studies. We then present a study which we think has been successful in overcoming some of these limitations, conducted as part of the European project entitled ADLAB: Lifelong Access for the Blind on 80 visually impaired persons (VIPs) and 77 sighted controls from six project partners’ countries.

研究音频描述用户的偏好——局限性和解决方案

接收研究经常用于音频描述研究，以引出视障人士对某些方面的偏好和对各种解决方案的接受程度。然而，这种研究方法的特点是有局限性，本文将讨论参与者和接受研究的设计。然后，我们提出了一项我们认为已成功克服其中一些限制的研究，该研究作为欧洲项目的一部分进行，名为 ADLAB：盲人终生访问 80 名视障人士 (VIP) 和来自六个项目合作伙伴的 77 名视力控制者国家。向受访者展示了各种音频描述解决方案，并回答了偏好、理解和可视化问题，以找出他们更喜欢哪种解决方案，他们对给定描述的理解程度以及他们想象给定描述的难易程度。我们得出的结论是，引出受访者的主观意见可能是不确定的……
