I have a handful of questions... Does this mean that I should be able to read the captions file without the video, then watch the video, and understand what happens, or is it just that sufficient pauses are inserted in the video itself? Looked at another way, is the assumption that I recall everything important from the captions file, or just that the presentation is broken into chunks small enough that this is feasible for a given chunk? Do I need to see both the video and the captions (albeit one after the other) to understand a compliant presentation? Does this checkpoint prohibit having the captions (and the sound they are conveying) simultaneously with the relevant action? (If so, that redundancy is an important technique for conveying information and I would argue that the criterion as written should be removed) cheers Chaals On Fri, 8 Nov 2002, Andi Snow-Weaver wrote: > >Amended as per discussion at yesterday's call: > >Level 3 success criteria > >3.
