Original

Examples

  • Example 1: A television studio uses a real-time captioning service to create captions for its evening news online.

Proposed Changes

Examples

Add the following example to the list of examples:

  • Example 2: A live conference is streaming audio-video webinar for remote participants using Communication Access Real-Time Translation (CART) to provide users who are Deaf or hard of hearing with speech to text translation services that can be accessed on a mobile device (this also helps on-site participants needing captioning).

Suggested Revisions to Example Text from the WCAG Working Group 7 Oct 2014

  • Example 2: A live conference is streaming audio and video for remote participants and is including captions via use of Communication Access Real-Time Translation (CART). An additional benefit is that this can also help on-site participants needing captioning who can view the captions for the event on their own device.

OR

  • Example 2: A user watches an online seminar on their mobile device, including captioning provided through the use of Communication Access Real-time Translation (CART). The captions provided also benefit in-person participants who need captioning and can view the information on their own device.
