Description

This test checks captions in video elements with a track element. So, this one test the quality of the given captions. Note that instead of a pass or fail, we could also return a graded rating scheme. This can be the case if for example emotions are captured, and only one emotion is forgotten. We could return a 90% pass?

"BITV-Test, a German web-based accessibility evaluation tool which in its latest revision is a WCAG 2.0 test in all but name, takes a different approach. Its checkpoints that have graded rating scheme that offers five grades: from a clear "pass" (100%) via intermediate steps to a clear "fail" (0%).
