Accessibility in TV & Streaming<\/p>\n

The market is ready: DTVP publishes report on accessibility in TV and streaming.<\/h2>\n
\n

Frankfurt am Main, October 23, 2026. How well prepared is the media industry for the new legal requirements for accessible services? Deutsche TV-Plattform (DTVP) provides a comprehensive answer: Its new report \u201cAccessibility in TV & Streaming\u201d documents the state of the art and draws a clear conclusion. The market has adapted well to the new requirements.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n \n

Keeping the entire chain in view<\/h2>\n
\n

With the Accessibility Strengthening Act (BFSG) and the Interstate Media Treaty (MStV), new requirements apply to the accessibility of media services. The report by DTVP\u2019s Accessibility Task Force brings together for the first time how content providers, media platforms, and device manufacturers are jointly implementing these requirements, and how the individual components interact.<\/p>\n

This very interaction is the strength of the report: Within DTVP, broadcasters, platform operators, and end-device manufacturers work together, enabling the entire chain from production to the screen to be considered. The report is structured around the central components of accessibility: audio description for blind and visually impaired people, Clear Speech for better speech intelligibility, subtitles, German Sign Language, as well as the topics of discoverability, user interfaces, and user presets.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n \n

AI in use, and open issues<\/h2>\n
\n

The report also shows where artificial intelligence is already being used: for example, in the automated generation of \u201cClear Speech\u201d or, in the future, with signing avatars for German Sign Language. At the same time, it identifies open issues, including the inconsistent signaling of accessibility features across the various standards and the still-missing standardized labeling of Plain and Easy Language.<\/p>\n

In advance, the findings were presented to representatives of organizations for people with disabilities, including the German Federation of the Blind and Partially Sighted, the German Association of the Hard of Hearing, and the social association VdK, in order to incorporate their comments.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n \n
