[WSG] Video Accessibility Help
Hi List, I was just wondering what some of the best practices were these days for creating accessible video on the web. A few questions: 1) I know some Flash players can pull in captions, but which ones to use? 2) Are there any services out there that will scan your audio track and create a captioned file for you (.srt, etc.) to feed into your player? 3) If you do succeed in creating captioned video do you also have to create a transcript of the video for those users who may not have Flash installed (or may not be able to access Flash using JAWS)? 4) Would providing just a transcript of the video, be all that is needed to meet basic accessibility requirements? Thanks in advance! I love this list!

RE: [WSG] Mobile Page Passes but MIME Type Fails
Hi Kevin, Regardless of what you are declaring in your meta tags, the server will trump you here and serve out the page as it is configured to do so (as text/html), in which case you'll have to configure the server to serve the page out with correct mime type. I don't know what you are using to build your pages, but if it happens to be ASP.NET you can declare an override type in the Page directive like this: %@ Page contenttype=application/xhtml+xml ... % (This will cause page to be rendered as XML in Internet Explorer, but this is a mobile site so don't worry about it.) If you can't configure the server, I probably wouldn't fret over that much either as your page should still render fine on most devices out there.

Re: [WSG] Mobile Page Passes but MIME Type Fails
Hi Kevin, The answer is in your e-mail. You have created a page using a version of XHTML for which the correct MIME type is application/vnd.wap.xhtml+xml or application/xhtml+xml but you're sending text/html so there is a mismatch, hence the warning. The recommended markup for mobile is now XHTML Basic 1.1 for which the appropriate MIME type is application/xhtml+xml but if you're sending to a device that doesn't support that (essentially just IE) then you'll need to do as you are doing and use text/html. However... this is a warning, not a failure, so you may decide just to leave things as they are ;-) Presumably you got this warning from the mobi Ready tool? This uses the same core code as the W3C mobileOK checker http://validator.w3.org/mobile/ (although we've added a lot of extra UI stuff over the last year or so). HTH Phil.

Re: [WSG] Video Accessibility Help
Hi Michael, Your first port of call might be the WCAG2 guidelines, found here; http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG20/#media-equiv I also did a quick search for accessible online video best practice and this link to a PDF from the US Department of Health and Human Services exactly on the topic of Online Viral Video Requirements and Best Practices might be useful to you. It is dated Jan 2010 and covers the departments use of YouTube (and other video providers) and importantly Section 508 compliance. A good deal of the document regards brand guidelines as much as technical requirements, but in that regards questions about dimension and file size and type might be useful knowledge. This was the PDF link; www.cdc.gov/socialmedia/Tools/guidelines/pdf/onlinevideo.pdf Accessibility advocate Joe Clark I recall became very interested in the question and quality of captioned video. From my search above this resource of links from the Victorian Government in Australia might also be useful; http://www.egov.vic.gov.au/website-practice/online-video-content.html I'm not that knowledgeable about Flash, but to your questions I recall seeing a presentation from Adobe regards CS4 and that their Audio program, whose name escapes me, could extract Caption text and that in turn that file could be brought into Flash. However I thought it was an XML file. I also understood that using ActionScript you could program the import of the XML file, but the last time I used Flash was at school and it was Flash8 and given the presentation I mentioned it might be a tool built in?? Of course how this would be handled in HTML5 I'm less clear on:) Didn't really answer your questions directly, but I hope some of this is useful.
