Audio

Pre-recorded audio must include a text-based alternative. There should also be options for users to pause or stop the audio and control the volume independently from the overall system volume. Additionally, if an audio file has speech in the foreground, users must be able to pause the background audio.

Animation

Motion animation triggered by interaction can be disabled unless the animation is essential to the functionality or the information being conveyed.

Closed Captions

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. Captions are similar to dialogue-only subtitles except captions convey not only the content of spoken dialogue but also equivalents for non-dialogue audio information needed to understand the program content, including sound effects, music, laughter, speaker identification, and location.
