Summary
This Success Criterion ensures that all pre-recorded audiovisual content, like videos with sound, have extended audio descriptions. These descriptions help visually impaired individuals understand the content by detailing important visual elements during pauses in the dialogue.
Lyrics
VERSE 1: When the video plays and moves too fast And visual details slip right past There’s a way to help those who can’t see Success Criterion one point two point seven’s the key Sometimes standard descriptions aren’t enough When professors sketch and lectures get tough So we pause the frame, extend the sound Making sure no one’s left behind, access found
CHORUS: Pause the frame, tell the story Extended audio description in its glory When regular pauses just won’t do We freeze the video, describe it through Every gesture, every chart Extended descriptions play their part
VERSE 2: Picture physics class, the board’s alive With formulas drawn as concepts arrive The professor speaks while sketching away But blind students need another way So between each problem that’s discussed We pause the video, it’s a must Describe those drawings, every line Making visual content truly shine
CHORUS: Pause the frame, tell the story Extended audio description in its glory When regular pauses just won’t do We freeze the video, describe it through Every gesture, every chart Extended descriptions play their part
BRIDGE/OUTRO:** It’s Level Triple A, the highest bar we set But it opens doors for those we can’t forget Toggle on or off, give viewers choice Let extended descriptions be their voice Through SMIL and players that support We build a world where all can report
