Hi all,
Has anyone done an analysis of the accessibility of media players, such as Vimeo, Vzzar, YouTube, etc.? I'm sure it isn't a straightforward answer but if anyone can give me any pointers it would be much appreciated.
Of course, when I say accessible I mean support for access with the keyboard and assistive technologies, but also support for captions and audio description.
Thank you.
Regards,
Chetz

The open source VideoJS project recently added a lot of accessibility.
It's an HTML5-based player.

You can read about the accessibility at the following.
