Captions Translation

Accessibility Statement

Captions Translation is an accessibility product at its core. It makes spoken information readable for everyone, in their own language.

Our commitment

We work to meet or exceed the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. An accessibility tool must be accessible.

Key features

Typography

All captions use the Atkinson Hyperlegible typeface. The Braille Institute helped develop this font to improve legibility for readers with low vision. It makes similar letters easy to tell apart (like 'l' and '1', or 'O' and '0').

Contrast and distance legibility

The default viewer look uses maximum contrast: bright yellow on pure black. Viewers can read captions from across a room. We check the contrast of every caption style. Viewers can always switch to a high-legibility view. High-contrast and reduce-motion settings always win over any style.

System preferences

  • Color schemes: We support light and dark modes through your system setting.
  • Reduced motion: We respect your reduce-motion setting and turn off extra animations.
  • Screen readers: We test our web and mobile flows with VoiceOver and TalkBack.
