captions accessibility with screen readers.

Thoughts from the wider community.

I am wanting to bounce something off the community in relation to accessible media controls. Should the captions be accessible to a screen reader? When the caption is, the useability of the web page and general usage suffers due to much information.

So should the captions be accessible by a screen reader? If so, what ARIA property should be used? As ARIA-live="polite" is to verbose.
