Complex Media Content with Eye-Able Assist

Eye-Able Assist was developed to ensure greater accessibility for as many users as possible, even for complex media content such as videos, audio files and interactive controls. In this article, you will learn which functions help with this and where their limits lie.

Support for subtitles and transcripts

Eye-Able Assist supports the display of subtitles and embedded transcripts for video content. It does this, for example, through font enlargement or with the contrast mode, which makes the text easier to see.

If, for example, a video does not contain subtitles, Eye-Able Assist cannot generate them. In that case, the content cannot be presented in a fully accessible way.

Compatibility with screen readers

Eye-Able Assist is compatible with screen readers. You can also use the read-aloud function of Eye-Able Assist to have content read aloud to you.

Important: Transcripts must be available for media content to be usable with a screen reader.

Improved keyboard navigation

With Eye-Able Assist, interactive content such as menus, sliders or videos can also be fully controlled using the keyboard. This is an important function for users with motor impairments.

Please note: If a website contains faulty code that impairs usability, Eye-Able Assist cannot fix it.
