# 1.2.2 Captions (Prerecorded)
|
|
|
|
- Level: A
|
|
- Guideline: 1.2 Time-based Media
|
|
- Principle: 1 Perceivable
|
|
|
|
## What it is
|
|
|
|
Captions are provided for all prerecorded audio content in synchronized media, except when the media is a media alternative for text and is clearly labeled as such.
|
|
|
|
## How to test
|
|
|
|
- Check: Captions are provided for all prerecorded audio content in synchronized media, except when the media is a media alternative for text and is clearly labeled as such.
|
|
- Use the sufficient techniques below as acceptable methods when applicable.
|
|
- Confirm none of the common failures apply.
|
|
|
|
## Sufficient techniques (W3C)
|
|
|
|
- G93: Providing open (always visible) captions
|
|
- G87: Providing closed captions
|
|
- SM11: Providing captions through synchronized text streams in SMIL 1.0
|
|
- SM12: Providing captions through synchronized text streams in SMIL 2.0
|
|
- H95: Using the track element to provide captions
|
|
- Using any readily available media format that has a video player that supports closed captioning
|
|
|
|
## Common failures (W3C)
|
|
|
|
- F8: Failure of Success Criterion 1.2.2 due to captions omitting some dialogue or important sound effects
|
|
- F75: Failure of Success Criterion 1.2.2 by providing synchronized media without captions when the synchronized media presents more information than is presented on the page
|
|
- F74: Failure of Success Criterion 1.2.2 and 1.2.8 due to not labeling a synchronized media alternative to text as an alternative
