Audio description
Audio description: The video shows a colour test pattern with a counter in the corner, over a steady tone. There are no people or actions on screen. The narration carries all of the content.
Captions
Captions show the words and important sounds as text. They are needed by deaf and hard-of-hearing people and used by many others. Check automatic captions and correct them before you publish.
Transcripts
A transcript is the full text of the video, including descriptions of what is shown. Deafblind people read transcripts on a braille display. Captions alone do not help them.
Audio description
Audio description explains what is happening on screen for people who cannot see it. If your video has no important visual content, say so in the description.
