Media Accessiblity

Videos

All videos must be captioned. Transcripts by themselves are not considered accessible, due to the need for “timed” captions. 

Deaf viewers may require more accessibility options aside from captions, such as a transcript, glossary, or summary..  Captions often are presented at a higher reading reading level and the progress may move swiftly which can create a barrier for understanding. Where feasible, American Sign Language translations, combined with the previously mentioned options, can provide an additional option for deaf viewers.

Keep in mind if there are demonstrations only seen on screen that lack an audio description. Those situations would require  an alternate description or resource for the viewer, such as a video description, so they understand the content that was being seen on-screen.
