Captions
Captions are synchronised text alternatives for the audio content of video — including dialogue and meaningful non-speech audio (laughter, music descriptions, sound effects) — required by WCAG 1.2.2 at Level A for pre-recorded video and 1.2.4 at Level AA for live video.
About Captions
Open captions are burned into the video; closed captions are toggleable. Auto-generated captions often fall short of WCAG accuracy expectations; human-corrected or hybrid captioning is standard for compliance work.
