Video and audio – provide a transcript
This very basic checklist will make sure your content is accessible to disabled users, particularly those who use screen readers. Screen readers rely on the correct use of <tags> in HTML code to denote elements such as lists, headings, tables, etc. The text is then transformed into speech and can be heard through earphones or speakers. The rich text editor (WYSIWYG) in Drupal will automatically tag most elements of a web page. If you are familiar with HTML, you can add tags in the source code. The formatting tools available in Word and Powerpoint can also be used to tag headings, lists and tables.
For images that convey meaning, use alternative text to describe it to visually impaired users. Alternative text needs to briefly describe the image's purpose. Every time you upload images, objects and non-text elements, you will be asked for an alt text description.
