ARIA messages
Mediasite Player provides the following Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA) alerts when you seek on the presentation timeline or when a chapter changes as you view the presentation:
•When navigating to a certain point in a presentation: 'Seeked to X percent'.
•When chapter changes while viewing: 'Entered chapter: X. Y percent'
•When navigating to a specific chapter: 'Seeked to chapter: X. Y percent'
You will hear ARIA messages only when

Mediasite Player supports presentations with closed captions added. You can search closed caption text in the player for specific words and phrases. If you are viewing the presentation in a catalog, channel, or showcase you can search caption text there also.
The Show Captioning button appears only
