Web-Based Products

WCAG 2.0 is a set of accessibility standards created by the World Wide Web Consortium in partnership with various other groups to help guide web content producers in making their work more accessible to all, including users with disabilities.

Closed captions are a text version of content. Closed captioning was developed to aid hearing-impaired people, but is useful for a variety of situations. For example, as a transcription, as a description of images or other non-speech elements, or as a textual alternative.

Using descriptions for images, or alt text, should convey the same meaning as the image, but does not necessarily describe the visual characteristics of the image itself. Alt text is short descriptive text. If the image is of text, then the alt text should include those words.
