Rule

The text transcript or audio description for video-only content MUST accurately convey all important visual information.

Background

People who are blind cannot see video-only content. In order to give people who cannot see access to the information conveyed by video-only content - such as a silent movie or a how-to-video with no narration - it must have an accompanying text transcript or audio description. The text transcript or audio description must describe all important visual information such as scenes, important actions, text on the screen, facial expressions, etc. A text transcript gives access to the video content to both people who are blind and to people who are deafblind through a screen reader with refreshable braille reader. People who are blind can listen to the audio description, but this option excludes people who are deafblind.

How to Fix

Fix this issue by ensuring that the text transcript or audio description conveys all important visual information such as scenes, important actions, text on the screen, facial expressions, etc.
