Certified Professional in Accessibility Core Competencies (CPACC) — Question 6

Which technique is MOST beneficial to blind and partially-sighted consumers of web and broadcast video content?

Answer options

• A. Audio description
• B. Captioning
• C. Sign language interpretation
• D. Transcripts

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Audio description provides spoken commentary that narrates important visual elements of video content, making it accessible for blind and partially-sighted viewers. While captioning, sign language interpretation, and transcripts are useful for different audiences, they do not address the specific needs of those who cannot see the visuals, which is why audio description is the most beneficial in this scenario.
