Official methodology to test criterion 3.7

Test 1 (3.7)

iOS and Android
  1. Identify on the screen pre-recorded and live synchronised time-based media that require captions (i.e. where the soundtrack provides information, such as a person's speech).
  2. Check
    • that there are synchronised captions;
    • or that there is an alternative version with synchronised captions accessible via an adjacent component (a button or a link).
  3. If this is the case, the criterion is validated.
