Users who need to slow down the video in order to better process and understand its content can do so and users who need to speed up the video in order to maintain better focus can do so. When two videos are available (one with description and one without), both can be delivered together using the same player and users can toggle between the versions. Supports audio description as a separate video.Users can optionally set their player to pause when audio description starts in order to avoid conflicts between the description and program audio. At designated times, the description text is read aloud by browsers, or by screen readers for browsers that don’t support the Web Speech API. Supports text-based audio description, also using WebVTT.Chapters are specific landing points in the video, allowing video content to have structure and be more easily navigated.
