Summary
This Success Criterion ensures that prerecorded audio-only content has an alternative, like a transcript, so people who are hard of hearing or deaf can understand the information. This also benefits people who can’t play audio, allowing them to access the information easily.
Lyrics
VERSE 1: When the CEO speaks live on air Or web conferences fill the space There’s someone who cannot hear what’s there But they still deserve their place One point two point nine says make it right Real-time captions bring the light Every voice that streams today Needs text to show the way
CHORUS: Live and clear, live and clear Every word that people hear Should appear in text that’s near Making audio crystal clear Live and clear, for everyone here
VERSE 2: A trained operator sits and types Following each spoken sound Through radio shows and webcasts bright Accessibility is found Not just transcripts from a script But captions keeping perfect time When the speaker goes off track The text still follows line by line
CHORUS: Live and clear, live and clear Every word that people hear Should appear in text that’s near Making audio crystal clear Live and clear, for everyone here
BRIDGE/OUTRO:** From theater streams to breaking news No one should have to choose Between being left out or tuning in Real-time text helps everyone win One point two point nine reminds us all To answer accessibility’s call
