0 | [INTRO MUSIC] | [TITLE] Web Accessibility Perspectives - Voice Recognition | [before narration:] Web accessibility perspectives |
1 | Imagine if you could only communicate with your family by writing. Sometimes, it’s just easier to speak. |
At a kitchen table. A woman standing writes on a piece of paper "What would you like for breakfast?", and passes the paper to a man sitting next to her. The man writes a response and passes the paper back. |
[between "writing" and "sometimes":] A woman writes 'what would you like for breakfast?', and passes the note to the man next to her. |
2 | One of the advances of technology is voice recognition, whether it’s searching the web... | A man using a tablet by voice to search for ‘19th century architecture’. | [after narration (and after protagonist finishes):] A man is using a tablet by voice. Search results appear on the screen. |
3 | ...dictating emails... | An older man dictating an email using a table | [after narration:] An older man is also using a tablet by voice. |
4 | ...or controlling your navigation app | Someone saying 'show me directions to the central station' to a phone. | [after narration:] A woman is speaking to her mobile phone, then following the directions on the screen. |
5 | Many people with physical disabilities rely on voice recognition to use the computer. | We see a quadriplegic person using their computer through voice commands only. We hear their voice commands in the background. | [after narration (and after protagonist finishes):] A man with a wheelchair is using a headset for the computer. |
6 | But for that to happen, websites and apps need to be properly coded. | We now see their screen and nothing happens following the voice commands - something is clearly wrong with the site, it’s not an issue with the website coding. The person is making a sound of frustration. | [after narration (and before protagonist finishes):] Nothing happens on the computer. |
7 | Voice recognition can help lots of other people with temporary limitations too, like an injured arm. It can also prevent injuries becoming worse –- like RSI, repetitive stress injury. |
Cut to a different scene, closeup of a screen and we hear a person using voice commands. We zoom out to reveal that the person has their arm in a sling. They are using computer through voice, but this time on a different site that is properly coded. The site works successfully. |
[after narration (and after protagonist finishes):] A woman with her arm in a sling successfully using voice. |
8 | Or for people simply preferring voice. | Cut to a different person using voice recognition outside. | [after narration (and after protagonist finishes):] A man is outside with a dog taking voice notes on his mobile phone. |
9 | Web accessibility: essential for some, useful for all. | Cut back to the quadriplegic person. This time they’re on a site that has been coded properly. They are successfully using the site: voice command, and something happens on screen. | [after narration (and after protagonist finishes):] The man with the wheelchair is now using a website that works. |
