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
