Video Captioning for Deaf and Blind

Video Captioning

Video captioning can also be referred to as offline captioning or post production captioning. For video captioning, the captions usually appear at the bottom of the screen but can be placed virtually anywhere within the video content. Depending on the player used to host the video being presented, captions may be turned on or off (closed captions) or embedded into the video and appear at all times throughout the video (open captions).

Audio Description

Audio Description, also known as Descriptive Audio or Video Description, narrates the relevant visual information contained in a video and is an accommodation for blind and low-vision viewers. These descriptions fit into natural pauses in the video’s audio track to provide context, to clarify speakers, and to articulate visual elements that are critical to gain a comprehensive understanding of the video.
