A11y Driving Innovation
summary
Conference shifts to month-long, half-day Friday sessions with pre-record + synchronized live stream, enabling edits, higher audio/video quality and inclusive features. Built an HTML-embedded caption system that uses HTML-embedded captions via JS (webvtt/srt parsed into page, JS listens to timeupdate to display captions) because CEA-608 live caption ingest and enterprise encoders are infeasible. Extracted slide text into an aria-live slide transcript and a live-highlighted transcript; spacer GIF service still serves 726,298,967 images yearly. Features improve accessibility and audience engagement, with some fullscreen and verbosity issues being iterated.
