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
