And AblePlayer does have an interactive transcript which can be useful from a multi-modal UI/UX perspective.

Cheers,

For several years there has been a contest between the Oz player and AblePlayer. Oz has had limited resources to keep up to date from what I've heard.

Here is the AblePlayer example page

https://ableplayer.github.io/ableplayer/demos/

Try out some of the demos to see the number of player controls and capabilities.

One can change speed, turn audio description on/off, see transcript, see breakout window with sign language interpreter and more.

Hi All,

I hope you're having a great Monday! I have a quick question about video accessibility. I wanted to check if you have any recommendations for making only videos accessible. According to WCAG AA guidelines, we need to provide audio descriptions or transcripts for videos only. However, I haven't seen many websites doing this for embedded videos on their homepages. Do you have any inspiration or visual designs for the best way to display many controls on an embedded video?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Regards,
Radhika
