Teletext looks a little bit like the Internet.
It is information you can get on your TV screen.

Teletext has been around for a long time.
Accessible information
The Multimedia Centre of RTV Slovenija is another useful thing.
The Multimedia Centre is on the Internet.
It has many applications.
Some of the applications help people with disabilities.
People with disabilities also watch television.
They have the right to information.
People who are deaf or do not hear well,
can use subtitles.
Subtitles are texts on the screen
which explain talking and sounds.
Most of the programmes have subtitles.
More than 1 hour a day,
the channel is interpreted in Slovene sign language.
That means that a person on the screen
is signing what the sounds are.
For people who are blind or cannot see well,
TV Slovenija has a channel with audio description.
There is a special new audio channel for people
who are blind or cannot see well.
People can turn the audio channel on the television sets.

and descriptions of some films.
