Re: Captions not in Text-Format

A search gives the result that accessing captions is inconsistent, you have to be really fast with the keyboard and the text "if you're lucky" keeps appearing with instructions on how to access captions in videos with a screen reader.

So, subtitles for content in a different language and captions are still not "seen" as something someone who uses a screen reader "needs" access to.

I have one more place to check but am not confident the answer will be a positive one.
