Hi everyone,

while working on the interactive transcript feature that I'd
previously mentioned, I noticed that JWplayer announces the timestamp and
time left in the video when the scrub bar is moved., either manually or
when javascript tells it to go to a specific timestamp That announcement
competes with the sound from the video. Would that be a failure for
success criteria 1.4.7 ? A demo page where this can be observed is:
https://staging-b2b-setup.annoto.net/demos/jw-portals-demo.html

This is the output when seeking via the scrub bar in the demo:
Seek slider 25 seconds of 3 minutes, 46 seconds
38 seconds of 3 minutes, 46 seconds
38 seconds of 3 minutes, 46 seconds

This is the output using javascript to call seek(timestamp) then play() in
our course system:
15 seconds of 0 seconds
15 seconds of 3 minutes, 38 seconds

That's quite a bit of speech output and makes the user miss a few seconds
of the video's audio.

Thanks,
Mike
