prehistoric, but it wasn\u2019t long ago when we sent letters through the post office to keep in touch with a friend or scoured an encyclopedia to find answers to various topics.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fast forward to the present. We can instantly send a message to a friend in another country or find the answer to virtually any question on Google. Modern technology is rapidly evolving, making it easier for people to access information and stay connected like never before.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As technology continues to permeate our world, it\u2019s important that it\u2019s accessible to everyone &#8211; including people with disabilities. Although technology has made huge strides, there are still some limitations for people with sensory disabilities. A sensory disability is an impairment to one of the senses, like deafness or blindness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this post, we\u2019ll dive into today\u2019s tech and learn how it\u2019s helping and hindering the online experience for people living with sensory disabilities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"su-highlight\" style=\"background:#DEEFF5;color:#000000\">&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/go.3playmedia.com\/wp-10tips\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Making Video Content Accessible <\/a>\u27a1\ufe0f&nbsp;<\/span>\n<h2><strong>Pros of Today&#8217;s Tech<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h5>Closed Captions<\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/resources\/popular-topics\/closed-captioning\/#captioning\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Captions are time-synchronized text<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of the audio spoken in a video and include non-speech elements. They assume the viewer can\u2019t hear, so they\u2019re useful for accommodating viewers who are deaf or hard of hearing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/news-room\/fact-sheets\/detail\/deafness-and-hearing-loss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">466 million people<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> worldwide living with some form of hearing loss. Captions allow your content to reach the millions of people who otherwise wouldn\u2019t have understood the audio without them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When content creators and other video publishers proactively caption their content, it ensures that everyone, regardless of ability, can enjoy your videos.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17902 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Anna-FBTS.png\" alt=\"\u201cEvery video I see has captions.

For blind or low vision viewers, audio description is helpful since it <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/learn\/popular-topics\/audio-description\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">depicts the key visual elements<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in order for the viewer to understand the content.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even if blind or low vision viewers can\u2019t see everything displayed in a video, with audio description, they\u2019re still able to keep up with what\u2019s going on. Online video has become increasingly popular, and audio description has been a game-changer for making content accessible. <\/span><\/p>\n<h5>Video Call<\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apps like FaceTime and Skype have been very useful for alternative methods of communication. Not only do these apps allow you to connect with people from all over the world, but if you\u2019re someone who is deaf or hard of hearing and is fluent in sign language, you can communicate without the need for sound.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sign language is a very visual and gestural language. It\u2019s filled with expressive movements using the hands, face, and body. Video calls are a great way for people who communicate with sign language to interact with others.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h5>Text Messaging, Email, and Messaging Apps<\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I think everyone, regardless of ability, loves that we can instantly message anyone, at any time. Our smartphones allow us to connect with others all in the palm of our hands.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For people with sensory disabilities specifically, messaging apps means communicating autonomously. Before text messaging became popular, people typically communicated verbally with phone calls or voicemails. Some deaf people were still able to use these methods, but typically with a translator present. That can be very uncomfortable for someone, especially during private conversations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, deaf people can independently have conversations with friends and family through messaging apps. <\/span><\/p>\n<h5>Alt Text<\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alternative text, widely known as alt text for short, is used within an HTML code to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/moz.com\/learn\/seo\/alt-text\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">describe the appearance and function of an image<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on a webpage. In order to have an accessible website, images must be described.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From an accessibility standpoint, people who are blind or low vision rely on alt text to understand the visual information of images. Screen reader programs can only read text on a webpage. Including alt text with your image will ensure all visitors have equal access to your content.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h5>Screen Readers<\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A screen reader is a software program that uses synthesized speech or braille display to read the text displayed on the computer, tablet, or smartphone screen for blind or low vision users.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using the keyboard, the user can instruct the screen reader to read or spell a word, read a line of text or a full screen of text, and much more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By accommodating websites for screen readers, content creators are including the millions of people living with vision loss.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/go.3playmedia.com\/wp-10tips\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><button class=\"cta\">10 tips for making your video content accessible<\/button><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><strong>Cons of Today&#8217;s Tech<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h5>Uncaptioned Video<\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s no denying the power of online video.

Without giving viewers the option of watching videos with captions, content creators are excluding an entire group of people.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many companies and organizations were sued for failing to caption their content, including Netflix, FedEx, and Harvard and MIT.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For many video producers, you\u2019re legally required to caption content.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Federal laws like the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Rehabilitation Act, and the 21st Century Video Accessibility Act, protect people with disabilities from discrimination and require video to be accessible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/resources\/accessibility-lawsuits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17904 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/online-video-law-quote.png\" alt=\" Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon were all sued for failing to caption their streaming videos.

It gives people the ability to connect with like-minded people all over the world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the rise of smartphones, social media usage has increased. Did you know? There are <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oberlo.com\/blog\/social-media-marketing-statistics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3.2 billion daily active users<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on social media, which is about 42% of the global population. That\u2019s a whole lot of people!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite its popularity, many video-based social media apps don\u2019t always include everyone. Platforms like Instagram and Snapchat aren\u2019t fully accessible. A handful of videos posted on these apps don\u2019t have captions, making it incomprehensible to someone who\u2019s deaf or hard of hearing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h5>Poor Web Design<\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A common word among the tech community is user experience or UX. Simply put, UX is the process of designing a website that is easy and delightful to use. This means a website should be visually appealing, ensuring the layout is organized, clean, and easy to navigate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A website has poor web design when it includes any of the following traits:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bad color contrast<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Poor navigation<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No alt text for images<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Long web pages<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Long load time<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Small font size<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use of too many links\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not accessible to screen readers<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">UX and accessibility go hand-in-hand. If you\u2019re not thinking about users with disabilities, you\u2019re not creating a delightful user experience. In fact, 71% of people with disabilities leave a website immediately if it\u2019s not accessible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Content creators should proactively approach accessibility. It\u2019s much easier to build in accessibility strategy at the beginning of the design process, as opposed to afterward.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17903 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/FBTS-quotes.png\" alt=\"\u201cGoing back and making things accessible retroactively is a pain...but if you handle it in the beginning, then you\u2019re including more people and you\u2019re allowing them to participate in whatever it is that you want to get out.
