ATLAS Accessibility Suite is the first software designed in Greece for accessibility-related services of various kinds. The suite was designed based on professionals’ needs and it is the first to combine tools for a variety of access services for live events as well as pre-recorded content, including solutions for surtitling, cinema subtitling, speech-to-text interpreting, and audio description.
After 17 of experience in the audiovisual translation and accessibility, ATLAS E.P. identified its customers’ needs and decided to design a tool that would improve accessibility for their products and events in ways that make professionals’ lives easier. At the same time, a unique parallel user-centred environment can be shared with users, to personalise their experience in different contexts.
Emmanouela Patiniotaki presents the first, beta version of the ATLAS Accessibility Suite for the first time with live tests in different scenarios, as well as the logic behind its bulit. The first live test of the platform will take place at the Greek DEAFestival in September 2026, and users' as well as professionals' feedback will be shared during the presentation, along with next steps for its official launch.
Emmanouela Patiniotaki is the CEO of ATLAS E.P., a company offering linguistic and sensory access services in Greece and abroad, and the managing director of PROSVASIS Universal Access Research and Innovation Lab. She holds a PhD Accessibility through Audiovisual Translation and a MSc in Specialised Translation from Imperial College London, while she is currently researching Accessibility at a postdoc level at Università degli studi di Bergamo, funded by the Italian Government.
