No text or audio description available

Rule

Prerecorded video-only content MUST be accompanied by an easily-reachable text transcript or audio description.

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 using ONE of the following techniques:

1. Text Transcript: A full text description that conveys all important visual information such as scenes, important actions, text on the screen, facial expressions, etc.
2. Audio Description: A synchronized soundtrack with an audio description that conveys all important visual information such as scenes, important actions, text on the screen, facial expressions, etc.
