3.18 For each pre-recorded synchronised time-based media that has subtitles, can these be, if necessary, vocalised (excluding special cases)?

Official methodology to test criterion 3.18

Test 1 (3.18)

iOS and Android
  1. Identify on the screen pre-recorded synchronised time-based media with subtitles.
  2. Check for the presence of a sound track that would be the vocalised version of the subtitles:
    • activate the sound track;
    • check that the vocalised subtitles match the displayed subtitles.
  3. If this is not the case:
    • check that there is a feature that allows you to vocalise subtitles;
    • activate the feature;
    • start playing the multimedia content;
    • check that the texts displayed by this means are vocalised.
  4. If this is not the case:
    • activate the screen reader and navigate to the media player;
    • activate the subtitles;
    • check that the vocalised subtitles match the subtitles displayed.
  5. If this is not the case:
    • activate the screen reader and navigate to the media player;
    • activate the subtitles in the media player and play the video;
    • check that the displayed subtitles are rendered by the screen reader.
  6. If this is not the case:
    • look for alternative media with a soundtrack containing subtitles for vocalised translation;
    • check that the displayed subtitles are rendered by the screen reader.
  7. If this is the case, the criterion is validated.
