(short label + transcript) An audio file is embedded in a Web page. The short label says, "Chairman's speech to the assembly." A link to a text transcript is provided immediately after the clip. a.. JH - I would think deaf and hard of hearing people should have the ability to read the text simultaneously as captions while the video clip is being displayed rather than having the link to a separate transcript window come up after the video is done. The benefit here is to see the words as they are spoken because it often relates to what is being shown on the video - especially when the video is not showing a talking head but things in action such as a news clip while the reporter voices over. > 2. checkpoint 1.2: http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/#media-equiv Exception: if content is rebroadcast from another medium or resource that complies to broadcast requirements for accessibility (independent of these guidelines), the rebroadcast satisfies the checkpoint if it complies with the other guidelines. JH - Not sure if I understand this right - what about news websites where they show clips from previous television broadcasts that were captioned on television but not on the web. For example, I would like to see CNN or ABC or FOX caption their web video clips. > 3. checkpoint 3.3: http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/#content-complexity JH - no comment here. I will review the entire document to make sure nothing was left out and comment at a later date. Thank you for the opportunity!
