Best Practices for Auditory Accessibility
- Captioning
- Edit your captioning text file. At best, auto-generated captions are 85% accurate and struggle with subject-specific terminology.
- Closed captions are preferred to open captions as they are less distracting.
- Ensure captions are synced with the audio and visuals, so captions do not appear too early or too late.
- Include a link to a text-only transcript.
- Any action performed on-screen should have an auditory and/or textual counterpart.
- Narration should not overlap with musical accompaniment or ambient noise.
