Two tasks in this topic need different information. Use these prompts to prepare a search or enquiry.
| Task | Record | What not to infer |
|---|---|---|
| Choose a version | Title, year, duration, language and captions | Access options can differ between versions |
| Cite an archive | Identifier, date, sequence and timestamp | Distinguish footage date and broadcast date |
Keep missing information visible before deciding.
Captions, transcripts and audio description serve different needs
A translation option does not cover every access need. Check the aids available for the actual video and chosen language.
- Identify the need
- Choose the right track
- Test a passage
| Situation | What changes | Useful check |
|---|---|---|
| Captions | Synchronised speech and important sounds. | Check speakers, relevant sounds and timing. |
| Descriptive transcript | Readable text with necessary audio and visual information. | Check that it also covers actions without dialogue. |
| Audio description | Spoken description of essential visual information. | Test its presence on the version actually offered. |
Review automatically generated captions. Also test player controls by keyboard; a feature advertised by a platform can be absent from a particular programme.
