Hi everyone. Josh with Online ADA here again.
Today we’re bringing you article 1.2.4, which is Captions Live.
This particular article is kinda short and sweet.
It is sort of something we’ve already covered in other articles, with just a few exceptions. So rather than really doing a deep dive on this. I’m gonna explain some of the differences between why this one differs from regular media and I’m gonna go ahead and read it to you right now.
1.2.4 Captions Live, Level A/AA
Compliance: Captions are provided for all live audio content in synchronized media.
An example of this article is when you’re watching the news or if you’re in the gym and you’re typically like, you know they have a TV up in the corner and the volume has been turned down really low, they usually turn these on and it’s basically the subtitles are just being created sort of in real time as the people are talking. And you know you see they like jump around a bit, sometimes they don’t finish a word or they skip a couple characters or whatever, but that’s what this is referring to.
You know you’ve got live content, someone’s being interviewed live and the subtitles are sort of being generated on the fly. That is what this article is trying to cover.
I have not seen this out in the wild on people’s websites.
I could see how maybe there might be like a stream, like maybe new year’s eve countdowns or something like that, where someone might wanna tap into a feed of a news channel and be presenting it on their website with like maybe like a new year’s eve countdown or something. And that would be a situation where you would need to have the captions being read live as the folks were talking. And that’s about all there is to this article.
So thanks for joining me for article 1.2.4 and I will see you in the next video.
