FW: 1.2.2 and 1.1. level 3 SC (1.1.2)

This is a TWO part proposal


 


Part 1


Team A finished up the paperwork (i.e. writing the Technique) for our new
1.2.2 SC  (audio description or screenplay)  

 

The General technique   "Providing a full corrected text screenplay
including any interaction"

Is now at http://tinyurl.com/lefm4 

 

 


Part 2


I posted a note last week about harmonizing 1.1.2   with 1.2.2.   I posted
the email below to the list and received only positive comments.  But we
forgot to follow up and survey and decide.   So let me propose some specific
wording so we can close the issue.

 


Proposal


Change 1.1.2  from 

1.1.2 For prerecorded multimedia, a combined document containing captions
<http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG20/appendixA.html#captionsdef>  intermixed
with audio description
<http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG20/appendixA.html#audiodescdef>  transcripts
is available. 

To

1.1.2 For prerecorded multimedia, a full
<http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG20/appendixA.html#fullscreenplaydef>
corrected text screenplay including any interaction, is provided. 

 

 

That would allow it to match the current 1.2.2 which says

1.2.2 Audio descriptions
<http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG20/appendixA.html#audiodescdef>  of video or a
full <http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG20/appendixA.html#fullscreenplaydef>
corrected text screenplay including any interaction, are provided for
prerecorded multimedia
<http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG20/appendixA.html#multimediadef> . 

 

It seems that the L3 provision shouldn't be sort-of-the-same but different
than the L1 option.  Also having two descriptions of the same rough type of
document is bound to be confusing.  

 

NOTE: if we make this change - we would 

1)  CHANGE the old technique "Providing a collated transcript of captions
and audio descriptions" (http://tinyurl.com/lefm4) 
   to the new technique for 1.2.2   (at the top of the page.)

2)  DELETE the failure  "Failure due to not collating captions and audio
descriptions"   (http://tinyurl.com/zu9tm)  

 

 

3)  We also should consider whether this should stay in 1.1.2  or move to
1.2.7 so that we have the two 'screenplay' items in the same guideline at
different levels.

1.1.1 For all non-text content

Subject: 1.1 level 3 SC

I was thinking - since we have a strong text equivalent option for
multimedia at 1.2 L1 - do we really want a weak one at level 3 of 1.1?  

 

Or do we want to use the same 'screenplay' at L3 as at L1 ? 

 

Makes it harder for L3 but L3 items are optional.    And only a screenplay
would really give the full information to someone who was deafblind. 

 

Thoughts?
