Accessibility for Information Architects
Nov 10th, 2011 by Henny
Following on from my article accessibility for project managers for Spotless Interactive the next in the series looks at accessibility for information architects. These form just two articles in a series that I’m writing in the coming months. Next up: accessibility for designers.

However, there seems not to be any mention about accessibility for people with hearing loss – i.e. providing captions/transcripts for videos/podcasts. I’ve came across a lot of websites by UX and IA specialists that have videos and podcasts that are not captioned which is very ironic.

Hi Sveta – if using audio and video on a site this should absolutely be covered. I’m thinking that maybe an artical dedicated to this topic might be a good idea. I could cover providing captions/transcripts for videos/podcasts from a project management rather than technical perspective.
I’ll get my thinking cap on!
