TTkuvauksissa

TTkuvauksissa is a term used in Finnish media studies and accessibility discourse to describe a particular approach to describing moving images and scenes in captions and alt-text. The aim is to convey both what is visibly present and the temporal progression of events in a neutral manner.

The practice is applied in film analysis, television broadcasting, and digital platforms that provide textual descriptions for users with visual impairments. It is discussed within guidelines for accessible media in Finland and in academic discussions about descriptive writing in multimedia contexts.

Core principles include clarity, brevity balanced with informativeness, consistency in terminology, and attention to sequence and timing. Descriptions typically identify relevant actors, setting, actions, and important non-verbal cues, while avoiding value judgments or interpretive claims.

In practice, TTkuvauksissa may vary in length and level of detail depending on context, audience, and platform. Critics argue that without universal standards, descriptions can become subjective. Proponents emphasize its role in making media more inclusive and comprehensible.

Related concepts include alt text, image description, and media accessibility guidelines. The term is often discussed alongside Finnish standards for captioning and audiovisual translation.
