Description:

There are four main methods of making video and audio accessible to audiences with sensory disabilities (deaf or hard of hearing, blind or low vision, and deafblind):

    Captions: Text synchronized with the media for people who cannot hear the spoken words.


    Transcripts: The full text of the spoken words and important visual information in the media file, to read as an alternative to watching or listening to the media file.


    Audio descriptions: A version of the media file with a narrator explaining important visual information (such as unspoken actions and events) for the benefit of people who cannot see what's happening.


    Sign language interpretation: Video of an interpreter synchronized with the media file (or in the same video frame) for the benefit of people who know sign language.

This module covers these topics in detail.
