Provide Sign Language Interpretation for Prerecorded Videos
Ensure that all prerecorded videos include sign language interpretation for audio content, so that people who are deaf or hard of hearing can access the content in their preferred mode of communication.
Acceptance Criteria
• Sign Language Interpretation Required: Provide a sign language interpretation for all prerecorded audio content in synchronized media.
• Scope: Sign language interpretation should be available for all prerecorded audio in time-based media.
Examples
• Good: A video includes a sign language interpreter visible in the corner of the screen, translating the spoken content into sign language.
• Bad: A video with spoken content but no sign language interpretation, leaving viewers who use sign language without access to the information.
Exceptions
Tips
• Ensure that the sign language interpreter is clearly visible and well-integrated into the video.
• The interpretation should accurately reflect the audio content and be synchronized with the video.
• Provide options for viewers to turn the sign language interpretation on or off if needed.
How to test?
1. Playback Check: Watch the video with sign language interpretation to verify that it accurately translates the spoken content and is synchronized with the video.
2. Visibility Check: Ensure the sign language interpreter is visible and does not obstruct important visual elements of the video.
3. User Feedback: Test with users who use sign language to ensure the interpretation is clear and effectively communicates the content.
