Abstract(in English) The projection of summary transcriptions to an audience is an important means of information support for persons with hearing impairment. However, the most optimal condition of its presentation on a screen has not been clarified. We therefore investigated the relationship between the number of characters per line and readability of the text. Our previous study showed that 15-20 characters per line make the text most readable. The present study used characters twice the size as the previous study and found that 15 characters per line, and not 20 made the text most readable. Thus the most readable number of characters per line differs depending upon the size of the characters. The results of the present study suggests that the expansion of the line length caused by the enlargement of the characters can decrease overall readability of the projected text.
