anasram has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/webvtt: == Distinguishing between cues for visually impaired users and cues for hearing impaired users == Hi all! Picture this in a movie: * A scene with a textual banner; e.g. "XYZ Shop". * You probably write a cue for it like this: ["XYZ Shop"]. * A scene with non-lingual sounds (music instruments, someone mumbling… etc). * You may write a cue for it like this: [Soft music] or [Mumbling]. As you can see: * The first case is useful for visually-impaired users, and could be useful for translation for foreign-language speakers. * The second one is useful for hearing impaired users. The question is: don't those two cases should be distinguished from each other? What do you think of using some tags for this propose? Something like this: * [::text::]["XYZ Shop"] * [::sound::][Soft music], [::sound::][Mumbling] Or even using emoji, like this: * [🖹]["XYZ Shop"] * [🔊][Soft music], [🔊][Mumbling] Such tags will be useful for filtering cues according to user's preferences and requirements.
