Abstract

An approximation of quality in audiovisual translation is presented, based upon an experiment carried out with students of different level of expertise, in order to check whether considering the image affects the evaluation of quality in dubbing and which dischrony has a greater impact on students' ratings. When they watch the scenes on video, evaluators (i.e. the students) bestow them higher ratings as opposed to when they have only the text. The lack of synchronization, which is penalized the most, is lip synchronization, although the differences do not seem to be significant. The average ratings given by the two groups of students are similar, but there is a stronger coincidence among advanced students. The presentation on video beclouds potential linguistic errors made during the translation phase. Errors related to synchronization are not as relevant to the receivers' judgement as expected.
