Subject: Synchronization Accessibility User Requirements (SAUR) Note Published

Dear WAI Interest Group,

W3C WAI announces the publication of Synchronization Accessibility User Requirements as a W3C Group Note. The document is available at:
        https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.w3.org/TR/saur__;!!N11eV2iwtfs!qgZVp0ER4YdLcjvWvLI2kDN1RupmOHH2MTdkCzP8W-0Hw5Y2kEmecMpwIib-TzdDYF4Pr-Zx59I$


This document outlines accessibility-related user needs and associated requirements for the synchronization of audio and visual media. The document discusses the synchronization of accessibility-related components of multimedia, such as captions, sign language interpretation, and descriptions. The requirements identified herein are applicable to multimedia content in general, as well as real-time communication applications and media occurring in immersive environments.

SAUR aims to identify and to characterize synchronization-related needs. It may influence the further development of W3C specifications, including accessibility guidelines and media-related technologies. It may also be applied to the development of multimedia content and applications to enhance accessibility. This work is widely applicable to improving the accessibility and general usability of multimedia.
