Official methodology to test criterion 3.10

Test 1 (3.10)

iOS and Android
  1. Identify on the screen video-only or synchronised time-based media with audio description.
  2. Check that the audio description is
    • relevant (all important visual information is present);
    • correctly synchronised
      • the sounds and words of the audio description do not overlap with those of the original soundtrack to cause perception and comprehension problems;
      • the information conveyed in the audio description is given at the same time as the equivalent visual information appears.
  3. If this is the case, the criterion is validated.
