ACCESSIBILITY TASK · REVIEWED AUGUST 31, 2026

Caption, Transcript and Video Control Check

Generated or promotional video needs synchronized text access and controls that do not depend on sight, hearing or precise pointer use.

This task records scoped evidence. It is not accessibility certification, legal advice or a universal result.

THE QUESTION

What this page owns

Check captions transcripts and controls for generated companion video.

Begin with the named task and preserve the setup. Do not turn a product statement, automated scan or reachable page into proof that a person can complete the task.

REPEATABLE PROTOCOL

Four steps, one documented result

  1. 01

    Start with media that contains speech or meaningful sound.

  2. 02

    Turn captions on and compare a small sample with the audio.

  3. 03

    Reach play, pause, captions and fullscreen controls by keyboard.

  4. 04

    Check for a transcript or description when visual information is essential.

EVIDENCE TO KEEP

Task
Starting point, action and expected outcome in plain language.
Result
Pass, barrier observed or not checked — never a guessed score.
Limit
Do not call automatic captions accurate without reviewing the sampled output and stating its limits.
