No Alternative Way to Access Important Content in Visual Media

Short Description

Visual information should appear in alternative forms

A video might provide information such as a formula written out, a phone number or other contact information, or a cue that a viewer has to click to progress to the next video.
It is important to have a non-visual alternative for accessing that information.

A transcript with descriptions of visual information is one way to provide an alternative format.
Information found in media can also appear other locations in the page.
Audio description is another way to provide information that is otherwise entirely visual.
Make sure that dynamic information and controls that appear based on progress of media is accessible with a keyboard and appears in the tab order.
More information is available in the article Making Sure More than Eyes Can Detect an Element on the AUL site.
