Accessibility on video should satisfy the following needs:

  • subtitles: transcription of what is being said in different languages
  • captions: subtitles for the deaf, which include sound effects as well as speech transcripts
  • audio annotations as text: description of what is happening in the video through an additional textual annotation track (enabling TTS, Braille outputs)
  • sign language as text?


Out of scope, but important to understand how to include into Ogg:

  • burnt-in captions are out of scope, because they are just part of the video track anyway and not easily machine accessible other than through OCR
  • audio annotations as digital audio are out of scope, because they can just be multiplexed as an additional audio track into a multitrack Ogg file
  • sign language video track are out of scope, because they can just be multiplexed as an additional video tracl into a multitrack Ogg file
