<\/a>Success Criterion 1.2.4<\/strong> Captions (Live)<\/h3>\r\nLevel AA\r\n\r\nCaptions are provided for all live audio content in synchronized media.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n\r\nKey Point: <\/strong>Captions for live content, though a Level AA requirement in WCAG 2.1, is an exception for AODA. While they are not required to comply with AODA, they are recommended, where feasible, to reach the widest possible audience. In jurisdictions other than Ontario, captions for live content may be required.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n

Captions (Live) Explained<\/h4>\r\nPeople who are deaf or hard of hearing can watch real-time presentations by reading captions.\r\n\r\nCaptions identify who is speaking and what they are saying, plus other information conveyed through sound effects, music, and other sounds.\r\n\r\nAt present, human transcribers type the captions for real-time presentations. In the future, speech recognition technology may make it possible to automatically generate captions in real time.\r\n
