Good people of Fedi, I have a web design and accessibility question for you.
Do you have any recommendations as to how to make audio tracks on web accessible with a transcript?
I figure I can roll my own with what feels right, but best practice recommendations are very much welcomed.

@tursiae@meow.social Have you aready found your way to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Accessibility Initiative page on audio and video? https://www.w3.org/WAI/media/av/av-content/ Or the MDN Web Docs page on accessible multimedia at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn_web_development/Core/Accessibility/Multimedia #accessibility

@sbourne@mastodon.social @redcrew@mstdn.social Gotchya, thanks! I was wondering if there was anything required to link it to the audio element itself.

@tursiae@meow.social Marco Arment recently discussed on Accidental Tech Podcast how he set up a solution to create transcripts from audio files. https://atp.fm/684
