Summary
This Success Criterion demands captions for videos to help those who are deaf or hard of hearing. Captions should include dialogues, speaker identification, and important sounds. If the video info is already provided as text on the site, no captions are required. Not providing comprehensive captions fails this standard.
Lyrics
VERSE 1: In this digital Babylon, we’re making videos shine But some ears cannot hear what’s flowing through the line The deaf and hard of hearing, dem struggle every day To catch what speakers saying, sound effects in play Prerecorded videos need captions, don’t delay Success Criterion one-two-two showing us the way Not just dialogue, mi bredren, but who’s speaking too And all those crucial sound effects coming through to you
CHORUS: Caption up your videos! Level A demands it so! Everyone deserves to know! What’s happening in your show! Closed captions, open captions Making access real Equal rights and justice Is the message we reveal!
VERSE 2: Some say the tools take time, the captioning is slow But Jah provides solutions as technology grow No excuse for babylon to leave some people out Inclusion is the message that we’re singing about When video just repeats what text already say Then captions not required, there’s already a way But most videos need captions synchronized well So everyone can follow what the story tell
CHORUS: Caption up your videos! Level A demands it so! Everyone deserves to know! What’s happening in your show! Closed captions, open captions Making access real Equal rights and justice Is the message we reveal!
OUTRO: Time to break down barriers, I and I must see Accessibility for all humanity Not live videos – that’s one-two-four This is prerecorded – one-two-two for sure Caption Babylon! Caption Babylon! Let every ear hear what’s going on!
