MediaHub captioning service updates

590 minutes captioned in the first month of service. Average length of video is 8:57. Video is some of the most compelling content out there. Please caption your videos. It's not just the law, it's the right thing to do. There are benefits to captioning: SEO improvements, search and jump feature, accommodation. SSL issues reported, will be remedied. We need to figure out the timeline for captioning all content after a certain date. For next time, report number of minuted captioned from captioning service versus minutes captioned manually. Jeremy Sydik: WDN Shared Governance Board needs to me with Christy Horn to formalize captioning policy. Q: What are the rules about live streaming being captioned? A: Waiting for federal law to be determined. There are very real cost issues being reported.

Screen reader demo

Two parts to presentation: manual testing, screen reader

Do as much manual testing as you can, but manual testing will never cover everything. There is a wide range of assistive technology (AT). The best thing you can do is consult with a native user of AT.

Make sure your automated testing is in place before you bring in native users. Do keyboard testing; many people are unable to use a mouse.

Do screen reader testing: VoiceOver (Mac, iOS), JAWS (not free, but has free demo), NVDA (demo). VoiceOver works best with Safari. VoiceOver Training in OS X preferences is a good place to start.
