  Matthew Seita, Khaled Albusays, Sushant Kafle, Michael Stinson, Matt Huenerfauth · 2018 · Proceedings of the 20th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (ASSETS 2018)

  This study from Rochester Institute of Technology investigates a largely unexplored question: how does using an ASR-based captioning tool in meetings with deaf or hard of hearing (DHH) colleagues change the speaking behavior of hearing participants? While prior work has focused…

• Usability Evaluation of Captions for People Who Are Deaf or Hard of Hearing

  Sushant Kafle, Matt Huenerfauth · 2018 · SIGACCESS Accessibility and Computing Newsletter (Issue 122)

  This is a SIGACCESS Newsletter article summarizing a line of research by Kafle and Huenerfauth on building a caption-quality evaluation metric that actually reflects the experience of Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing (DHH) readers — rather than simply counting speech-recognition errors.…

• Methods for Evaluation of Imperfect Captioning Tools by Deaf or Hard-of-Hearing Users at Different Reading Literacy Levels

  Larwan Berke, Sushant Kafle, Matt Huenerfauth · 2018 · Proceedings of the 2018 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI '18)

  This CHI 2018 paper (awarded an Honourable Mention) is the originating methodological study behind the group’s later Alonzo et al. work on Automatic Text Simplification evaluation. It asks: when Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing (DHH) participants evaluate imperfect captions produced by…
