"Making Video and Audio Accessible to All: What are your successes and biggest challenges?" Elle Waters (@nethermind) and Glenda Sims (@goodwitch) kicked off the discussion with their thoughts and questions on topics including transcripts, captions, sign language and keyboard friendly multimedia players in order to generate a discussion around fully accessible multimedia.
#a11ychat Do u do transcribe / caption in house using "humans" or do u use "transcribers" or "speech recognition" Or do u outsource?
#a11ychat I've found that outsourcing is the most effective use of our time and money.
#a11ychat - what do you think is an acceptable error rate in transcripts? 10%, 5%, 3% or 1% error rate?
#a11ychat Ability to understand captions greatly degrades at 3% errors. You should shoot for error rate of 1% or less to ensure quality.
Proud hosts of the #a11ychat, where accessibility evangelists can chat about website accessibility.
