HTML5 audio element accessibility

Posted in Digital Media, Open Source, code, open codecs, standards, video accessibility by silvia on the September 16th, 2009

As part of my experiments in video accessibility I am also looking at the audio element. I have just finished a proof of concept for parsing Lyrics files for music in lrc format.

The demo uses Tay Zonday’s “Chocolate Rain” song both as a video with subtitles and as an audio file with lyrics. Fortunately, he published these all under a creative commons license, so I was able to use this music file. BTW: I found it really difficult to find a openly licensed music file with lyrics.

While I was at it, I also cleaned up all the old demos and now have a nice list of all demos in a central file.
