Transcripts of content are nothing new but the technology that we use might be. They can be duplicitous in that a blind person might need an audio transcript, or a def person might need a printed transcript. This can also assist with language barriers as transcripts can be translated quickly. Simple things like captions under a photograph, can further assist as a content alternative.

Summary Points:

• Transcripts can be audio and/or visual

• Transcripts can assist with language barriers

• Always use captions with images, but keep them simple and short

• Use of CAPTCHAS should have multiple modalities

• Sometimes, the mode of something will be singular in its context

• Zoom call transcript generation is available

• Make use of native tools built into existing digital products such as the Chrome browser
