Definition
Sign language interpretation is available for audio and video content.
Examples
Explanation
The signLanguage
value is used to indicate that sign language interpretation is included for any auditory
content.
Although captions and audio descriptions serve a similar purpose, many readers who are deaf prefer sign language interpretation as it is their primary means of communication so quicker and easier to follow.
Note
HTML does not offer a simple mechanism for synchronizing sign language interpretation with a video. If interpretation is not part of the video stream, authors will have to provide a separate video overlay or play interpretation side-by-side with the video.
