ISSUE-309 (Image profile fails WCAG 1.2): Image profile needs to permit text equivalent [TTML IMSC 1.0] http://www.w3.org/AudioVideo/TT/tracker/issues/309 Raised by: Nigel Megitt On product: TTML IMSC 1.0 IMSC1 Image profile [1] defined in ยง6 does not permit a text equivalent. If this profile is used to provide captions as an alternative to audio then it will fail the WCAG2 guideline 1.2 [2]. From a practical perspective this would mean that users who can neither see nor hear well can not use tools to translate the content into e.g. Braille. [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/ttml-imsc1/#image-profile-constraints [2] http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-WCAG20-20081211/#media-equiv Some potential ways to solve this: 1. Permit text to be included within the image profile that describes the images. 2. Require or recommend that when image profile captions are provided there should be a text profile caption track available simultaneously.
