7 issues found for 1.2.3 Audio Description or Media Alternative (Prerecorded)

Creating a full audio description, while often preferred, is not always feasible, making the media alternative an easier way to remediate.

There are exemptions for specific situations which can be used. One of those is, when a video only conveys information, already accessible on the page (e.g. in text).

To do so, you must

• ensure all information in the video, whether audio or visual information, is 1:1 conveyed in text surrounding the video

• clearly mark the video as "media alternative"

Ensure, a version of the video including audio description is available or provide a text alternative for the content, conveyed in the video.

Ensure, a version of the video including audio description is available or provide a text alternative for the content, conveyed in the video.

Ensure, all visually provided information in video content is also provided in the same video's audio content and / or a full-text alternative version.

If visually provided information is limited as it is in the given video, a more viable remediation option would be to remove this information from the video, so that the video does not provide more information than the audio.

Important side note: Choosing full-text alternative as remediation option does not mean to provide text alternative for parts of the visual content (i.e. for the few issues found in the observation notes). The criterion does not allow "mix-and-match" of audio description and text alternative.

All visually conveyed information must be accessible in a non-visual format. This can be an alternative audio track or a full-text alternative version. This includes scenery, speaker information, etc.
