Checks for video captions and transcripts

Solution

Videos need captions for deaf/hard-of-hearing users and transcripts for SEO. Use <track> elements for captions. Provide text transcripts on the page. Auto-generated captions should be reviewed for accuracy. Captions also help when audio can’t be played. Required by WCAG 2.1 Level A.
