Summary
This Success Criterion advises making prerecorded audio and video content accessible to everyone. It encourages content creators to offer text or audio alternatives so visually or hearing impaired users, including those with cognitive and learning disabilities, can better understand the information. This also aids in searching for non-text content.
Lyrics
VERSE 1:
Picture this: a video plays without a sound
Or audio speaks while no image can be found
One point two point one says everyone should know
What’s happening in content, wherever it may go
Silent films need voices, podcasts need their text
So everyone can access what comes next
Transform the message to another sense
Making content work for every audience
CHORUS:
When silent movies speak and audio finds its eyes
We’re building bridges where no barrier lies
Text becomes braille, audio describes the scene
One point two point one makes everything seen
Transform it, transcribe it, let everybody in
When content speaks to all, that’s where we begin
VERSE 2:
A chairman’s speech needs more than just the audio file
A transcript right beside it travels every mile
Animations teaching how engines work their magic
Need descriptions clear, not something cryptic or tragic
Search engines find it, screen readers speak it loud
Tactile displays make it proud
From visual to audio, from hearing to touch
Accessibility means everyone gets just as much
CHORUS:
When silent movies speak and audio finds its eyes
We’re building bridges where no barrier lies
Text becomes braille, audio describes the scene
One point two point one makes everything seen
Transform it, transcribe it, let everybody in
When content speaks to all, that’s where we begin
BRIDGE/OUTRO:****
No sense left behind, no person left out
That’s what accessibility is all about
Prerecorded content in any single form
Needs alternatives to become the norm
One point two point one reminds us every day
There’s always more than just one way
