- An In Depth Overview of HTML5 Multimedia and Accessibility, In this tutorial, you’ll learn how HTML5 helps to provide you with several ways of presenting your media content to users. As a result, you’ll increase the availability of your media to users with different needs and requirements, making it more accessible. This tutorial comes courtesy of the recently released HTML5 Multimedia book. Media and Potential Accessibility Issues I’d strongly encourage you to think about making your content accessible… When thinking about the users who will be attempting to view your media content, you might make a number of assumptions: Users will view your content on a desktop, laptop, tablet, or phone. Users will have some way of listening to the audio of your content, be it via headphones or speakers. Users will be able to understand the language in which you deliver the media. Users will be able to successfully download and play your media. All are fairly reasonable assumptions to make and most likely cover the vast majority of users who will want to access your content. You may be happy with your content being accessible to these users only; after all, majority rules, doesn’t it? Well, I’d strongly encourage you to think about making your content accessible to users who do not fall into the category of the assumptions just listed. Who are these viewers? They include: Users who have a sensory impairment that prevents them from listening to your content’s audio or viewing video. Users who don’t understand the language the media is delivered in. Users who use devices such as screen readers and/or use keyboards to access media content on the web. Users who can’t successfully hear or view your content due to the environment they are in or because of device limitations. Because most media content will usually include some audio, not being able to hear or understand the audio it contains is quite a showstopper in comprehending the content’s message and information. Equally, being able to access the content through a device such as a screen reader but then not being able to actually use it due to the media controls not being properly set up (e.g., for keyboard access) would annoy any user. You’ll explore the accessibility of media controls later in this tutorial. You’ll also take a look at what HTML5 brings to the table in an attempt to address the issue of users being unable to see, hear, or understand your media content. But first, let’s take a quick look at what led to HTML5’s attempt to confront this accessibility problem — SRT. A Brief Look at SRT SRT is an existing file format for containing video subtitles and their timings. SRT is an existing file format for containing video subtitles and their timings. An SRT file is often produced automatically using a Windows program called SubRip, which uses optical character recognition (OCR) to obtain the subtitles from the specified video source. The SubRip file format is a basic text file with the .srt file extension that follows a basic format: Subtitle number hh:mm:ss,msmsms —> hh:mm:ss,msmsms Subtitle Text (one or more lines) … Each subtitle set begins with a unique subtitle number, followed by the start and end timestamps of the timing the subtitle represents on a separate line, which is then followed by one or more lines of subtitle text. Each subsequent subtitle set is separated by a blank line. The timestamp format hh:mm:ss,msmsms specifies the hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds of the time in question. Note that the millisecond separator is a comma. An example of such a file follows: 1 00:00:10,500 --> 00:00:13,000 Elephant’s Dream 2 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,000 At the left we can see... The SRT file format is quite popular and is often the format that video subtitles are released in. This file format isn’t currently used as part of HTML5’s attempt to tackle accessibility, although it was to begin with but has now been extended and given a new name, WebVTT. Introducing WEBVTT WebVTT (Web Video Text Tracks) is a file format that is intended for marking up external text tracks. It was initially part of the WHATWG and the W3C HTML5 specifications, and was an ...
