9.1 WCAG 2.1 Success Criterion 1.2.4 - Captions (Live)

Ensure all audios and videos that are presented "live" have captions.

Before Rectification

An image of an audio player.

When an audio is embedded in a webpage as shown above, the audio is only usable by people who can hear.

After Rectification

An image of an audio player containing a text caption.

Text captions should be provided so that persons with hearing impairments can still have access to content from the audio as shown in the example above.
