Summary
This Success Criterion ensures that prerecorded audio-only content has an alternative, like a transcript, so people who are hard of hearing or deaf can understand the information. This also benefits people who can’t play audio, allowing them to access the information easily.
Lyrics
VERSE 1:
When the CEO speaks live on air
Or web conferences fill the space
There’s someone who cannot hear what’s there
But they still deserve their place
One point two point nine says make it right
Real-time captions bring the light
Every voice that streams today
Needs text to show the way
CHORUS:
Live and clear, live and clear
Every word that people hear
Should appear in text that’s near
Making audio crystal clear
Live and clear, for everyone here
VERSE 2:
A trained operator sits and types
Following each spoken sound
Through radio shows and webcasts bright
Accessibility is found
Not just transcripts from a script
But captions keeping perfect time
When the speaker goes off track
The text still follows line by line
CHORUS:
Live and clear, live and clear
Every word that people hear
Should appear in text that’s near
Making audio crystal clear
Live and clear, for everyone here
BRIDGE/OUTRO:****
From theater streams to breaking news
No one should have to choose
Between being left out or tuning in
Real-time text helps everyone win
One point two point nine reminds us all
To answer accessibility’s call
