Hi All,
I am making an interview transcript accessible. These are also used for
captioning, hence the names are shown in full so people know who is talking
(the interviewer is off screen).
I have a cover page that will have the H1 and H2 on it, and then I thought
I would just do this:
Interviewer name:: <h3>Question that could go on and on and on</h3>
Interviewee name: Answer
Interviewer name:: <h3>Question that could go on and on and on</h3>
Interviewee name: Answer
etc
The questions can be quite long and go on from 1-20 lines, which concerns
me when it is a heading.
My other possibility is to add Q1, Q2, Q3 and just H3 those, so that a
screen reader user sees that as a list-it doesn't give them any detail but
at least they can go to each question. Example:
<h3>Q1</h3>Interviewer name:: Question that could go on and on and on
Interviewee name: Answer
<h3>Q2</h3>Interviewer name:: Question that could go on and on and on
Interviewee name: Answer
etc
Which would you do? Thoughts?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers
Lisa

Personally, I wouldn't use headings for the questions, as I'd hate to
encounter a couple H2s and 83 (I made that number up) different H3s.
If it's possible that the questions could be thematic, you could place
additional headings of subtopics that describe what each part of the
conversion is.

Hi Jon,
I do like your theme instead of a number, thanks. The problem here is that
there are many themes, but even if I break it down into 1-3 of them for
each section then it becomes easier to use. You are not wrong, I may have
over 200 questions, and thus over 200 H3s!!! This would not be good for
usability and screen readers! However, if I do it by theme then I can cut
them down to just a few...
I do wonder what the questions would be for elephant pajamas LOL!
Cheers
Lisa

I'm not sure what those elephant pajama questions would be either but they would probably have something to do with the Marx Brothers. :)

Well it was a transcript I would have wanted to read anyway.
