Guide

Accessibility — captions, transcripts, clarity

Audio projects should be usable for deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences and for viewers in noisy environments.

Practices

  1. Captions on published video (not auto-only if you can review them).
  2. Transcripts for podcasts — many hosts provide transcript fields on official sites.
  3. Dialog intelligibility — high-pass noise, level speech above music beds in mixes.
  4. Visual UI — if your app has audio controls, follow WCAG contrast guidance via design-for-devs.
