2.4.4 (A)

The purpose of each link can be determined from the link text alone or from the link text together with its programmatically determined link context, except where the purpose of the link would be ambiguous to users in general.

2.4.9 (AAA)

A mechanism is available to allow the purpose of each link to be identified from link text alone, except where the purpose of the link would be ambiguous to users in general.

Link Purpose (Link Only)

Requiring two different forms of CAPTCHA on a given site ensures that most people with disabilities will find a form they can use.

https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding/non-text-content

Organizations motivated to conform to WCAG should be aware of the importance of this topic and should go as far beyond the minimum requirements of the guidelines as possible.

Note on CAPTCHA

• Providing more than two modalities of CAPTCHAs
• Providing access to a human customer service representative who can bypass CAPTCHA
• Not requiring CAPTCHAs for authorized users

Provide transcript

• Time-based alternative text

Example: TED

https://www.ted.com/talks/tyler_dewitt_hey_science_teachers_make_it_fun/transcript

Some Free transcription tools

• Youtube Studio
• Amara
  https://amara.org/
• Web Captioner (for Live)
  https://webcaptioner.com

Benefits of Transcripts

• People who are deaf or hard of hearing.
• People who won't spend the time to listen to the audio or watch the video, but will skim a transcript.
• People who have difficulty processing auditory information, for example, because of cognitive disability.
• People who are not proficient in the language who find it easier to read than listen.
• People with low bandwidth connections who don't want to download the larger audio or video file.
• People who pay for bandwidth usage and thus don't want to download the larger audio or video file. This is often an issue with phones and other mobile devices.
• People who cannot play the audio because they are in a noisy environment and they can't hear it.
• People who cannot play the audio because they are in a quiet environment and they don't want to disturb others.
