an accompanying transcript; and
audio or text descriptions for any visual elements not accurately accompanied by equivalent audio.

It also allows for greater accessibility and usability for those who are second language learners, those with cognitive learning disabilities, or those who are simply trying to watch a video in a loud or distracting environment.
