A.4 WCAG 2.1 Success Criterion 1.2.9 − Audio-only (Live)

For live audio, offer an alternative that contains equivalent information. For example, make speech notes available if a speech is being delivered.

Before Rectification

A webpage sample containing a live audio presentation without a link to speech notes.

This live presentation is not accessible to people beset with hearing impairment.

After Rectification

A webpage sample containing a live audio presentation with a link to speech notes.

The image above shows that a simple link directing users to the speech notes means that all users can access this content.
