Audio/video transcripts benefit all users from "summary" of Web Accessibility by Yeliz Yesilada,Simon Harper

Transcripts of audio and video content on websites are beneficial for all users, regardless of their abilities. These transcripts provide an alternative way for users to access information that is otherwise presented in a non-text format. For individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing, transcripts allow them to read the spoken content instead of relying on audio. This ensures that all users can access the same information, regardless of their hearing abilities. Moreover, audio/video transcripts benefit users who may have difficulty understanding spoken language or accents. By reading a transcript alongside watching a video or listening to an audio file, users can better comprehend the content presented. This can be particularly helpful for users who are learning a new language or have cognitive disabilities that impact their understanding of spoken language. Transcripts also benefit users who prefer to skim or search for specific information within the content. Instead of listening or watching the entire audio or video file, users can quickly scan a transcript to locate the information they need. This saves time and allows users to efficiently access the content that is most relevant to them. Furthermore, transcripts improve the searchability and search engine optimization (SEO) of audio and video content. Search engines cannot index the content of audio or video files, but they can index text-based transcripts. By providing transcripts, website owners can make their audio and video content more discoverable to users through search engines.
  1. Audio/video transcripts benefit all users by providing alternative access to content, improving comprehension for users with language difficulties, facilitating information retrieval, and enhancing search engine optimization. By incorporating transcripts into their websites, content creators can ensure that their content is accessible to a wider audience and more easily discoverable through search engines.
