Quality in AD
• Quality= Reception + standardization– Reception:
• Emotional impact: Ramos, 2015; 2016; Ramos & Rojo, 2014
• Comprehension: Cabeza-Cáceres (2013)
– Standardisation: AENOR (2005), ITC (2000), ACB, 2009), ISO (2015): basic framework (Dosch, Benecke, 2004).

• Guidelines: – basic framework, general strategy (Dosch &
Benecke, 2004; Bittner, 2012).
– Lack of sound arguments for the rules (Bittner, 2012)
• Describer’s role:– ISO (2015): Levels of importance determined by
the person developing the AD

Objectivity/ Subjectivity
Subjectivity should be
avoided (AENOR, 2005:
8).
“What you see is what
you say” (Snyder, 2005:
195; American Council of
the Blind, 2009).
Bittner (2012): all
guidelines coincide

Adjectives
• Neutral adjectives (Benecke & Dosch,

Emotional states
• Facial expressions: neutral
(Benecke y Dosch, 2004; Gonant y

vs. “he presses his hand to his stomach,
his face is distorted with pain”.

Research Questions
What happens in real practice?
Can personality factors influence
describers’ work?
Is it possible that describers’ work
also exerts an influence on their
personality traits?

Our Study
1. What influence does the describer’s
creativity exert on the AD process?
– On the objectivity principle.
– On the quality of their work.
2. Is it possible to establish a
correlation between describers’ work
(years of experience) and their
creativity scores?

Results
Correlations were tested between CREA scores:
- The subjectivity variables.

But NO statistically significant results were
found!
Creativity scores were divided into two groups:

Conclusions I
Our data suggest that the profession may have an impact on the audio describers’ personality.
- Encourage creativity.
Data also point to an effect of creativity on:
- The quality of AD (at least in terms of stylistic errors).
- Self-regulation and adaptation to norms.

Conclusions II
But high variability was found among participants:
– Subjective information.
– They all declared to be objective!
More consensus needed:
– What to describe.
– How to describe.

Conclusions III
Limitations:
– 10 participants.
– Only poetic scenes.
– 1 creativity test.
Future:
– Different tests and tasks.
– Other personality traits.
