Hi all,
A question popped up in a project I'm working on that I answered with "it
depends", but I wanted to ask you all as well: how do people (especially
screen reader users) use video transcripts? Do they use them instead of the
video? Or to somehow support the video after they've listened to it?

I pointed out that it's not just low vision users who use transcripts and
that I think it really depends on the task the user is carrying out, but
would be very interested and grateful to hear from this group.

Thanks in advance!
