Timed Text subtitling receives Emmy Award
14 January 2016
The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) congratulates W3C for receiving a Technology & Engineering Emmy ® Award for Timed Text Mark-up Language (TTML). TTML is the backbone of the EBU-TT subtitling format and is of key importance for making content accessible to millions of users across the world. The development of TTML has benefited from extensive work performed in the EBU Subtitling Group (MIM-XMLSubs) and by individual EBU Members. The roots of TTML lie in early work on subtitling led by the late David Kirby while working at BBC R&D.
