Sean, just like WCAG 2.0 transcripts for captioned/audio described video with audio is a Level AAA. That is audio description and captions is at AA and providing a transcript in addition is a Level AAA.

Alternatives like transcripts are required for at Level A for audio only and video only.

Subject: [WebAIM] transcription of audio

All,



I have just looked through the WCAG 2.1 guidelines and I did not find any SC
for transcription of Video with Audio. Is this a part of WCAG or not? If so,
what SC?
