What it reports on
Nine heuristics, read from the page. Where the question is about meaning they ask a person (1.3.1, 1.3.2, 2.4.6 and the media); where the criterion names a mechanism or states a test, they decide and can report a failure (1.3.3, 2.4.8, 2.4.10, 3.1.4). 1.2.4 and 1.2.6–1.2.9 are answered only on a page with no media at all, as inapplicable.
How to meet it
WCAG’s own sufficient techniques for the criterion. They are W3C’s, cited by id; nothing here is written for your page in particular.
| Technique | Criterion | Title |
|---|---|---|
| G78 | 1.2.5 | Providing a second, user-selectable, audio track that includes audio descriptions |
| G173 | 1.2.5 | Providing a version of a movie with audio descriptions |
| G226 | 1.2.5 | Providing audio descriptions by incorporating narration in the soundtrack |
| G203 | 1.2.5 | Using a static text alternative to describe a talking head video |
