In plain English
This AAA rule asks for a full text version of your video: not just the spoken words, but also a description of what happens on screen, written so someone can read the whole thing without watching or listening. Think of it as a rich transcript with scene descriptions.
The standout beneficiaries are people who are both deaf and blind, who read via a braille display and cannot use audio or video at all.
Who this is for
- Deaf-blind people using a braille display.
- Anyone who prefers to read rather than watch a video.

For your key prerecorded videos, write a text document that combines the dialogue with descriptions of the visuals, and link it right next to the video.
Video → a "Read the full transcript" link beside it →
text of all speech + descriptions of on-screen action. ✓Where we can help
We check which videos carry a full text alternative and which only have captions, and note where a rich transcript would close the gap (and help your SEO, since search engines read that text). Media coverage is part of a full self-check.
