I am working on link to transcription right now on my website and was
wondering if there is a best-practice label text (the words).

Is this necessary to meet 508? Or going beyond the letter of the law,
to actually meet the needs of blind users?
Normally one would only be required to create equivalent content in
text. I assume, as with other text, the assistive technology takes
care of turning the text into a form the blind user can access (speech
or braille).

Is there a preferred way to provide a link to a transcript, other than
a simple on-screen text link?
Thanks,
