Summary
This Success Criterion ensures all prerecorded audio-video content has subtitles. This helps hearing impaired users understand the content. These subtitles should describe spoken words and relevant sounds, giving equal access to the information for individuals who cannot hear the audio.
Lyrics
VERSE 1:
There’s a broadcast on my screen tonight, a concert streaming free
But my neighbor down the road can’t hear the melody
She’s watching every gesture, every move the singer makes
Without captions on that live stream, she don’t know what it takes
One point two point four reminds us all to care
When the audio’s playing live, the words should still be there
CHORUS:
When the show goes live, don’t leave folks behind
Every word that’s spoken needs to reach the deaf and hard of hearing kind
From the dialogue to sound effects, to who’s doing the talking
Captions keep us all together when the show goes live and rocking
VERSE 2:
The news anchor’s breaking stories as they happen on the air
The orchestra’s performing, violins fill everywhere
But silence ain’t so golden when you can’t hear what they say
Real-time captions bridge that gap and light the way
It ain’t about the phone calls between me and you
It’s the content providers making sure their message gets through
CHORUS:
When the show goes live, don’t leave folks behind
Every word that’s spoken needs to reach the deaf and hard of hearing kind
From the dialogue to sound effects, to who’s doing the talking
Captions keep us all together when the show goes live and rocking
BRIDGE/OUTRO:****
So when you’re broadcasting to the world out there
Remember one point two point four and show you care
‘Cause everyone deserves to know what’s being said
When the music plays and stories spread
Let the captions roll, let the words appear
So everyone can join in, loud and clear
