Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M), Telefónica and the Federation of
Deaf-Blind Persons Associations has developed PervasiveSUB, groundbreaking
software that allows deaf-blind persons to receive and enjoy television
content without intermediaries in real time.

PervasiveSUB compiles all the subtitles of television channels and sends them
to a central server, which forwards them to smartphones or tablets. From
there, they are transmitted to the Braille line used by deaf-blind people
through the GoAll app, which integrates the software, It is compatible with
different Braille lines and controls the speed of the subtitles that are
captured directly from the TV broadcast in perfect synchronization.
