Accessibility features

 

Premier Player includes the following features that make presentations more accessible:

 

Captions

Premier Player supports captions in on-demand presentations. If the presentation has captions available in multiple languages, you can select the language of the captions you want to view:

 

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.

You can adjust caption settings as needed. Once you specify your caption settings, you don’t have to update them again. They will remain the same each time you launch the player to view a presentation.

 The closed caption (audio transcriptions) icon appears only if this feature is enabled and captions are available in the presentation. For more information, see “Navigating Premier Player”.

Audio Transcripts

You can download transcripts as text files. Transcripts are created from the presentation’s captions.

Screen reader support

Premier Player supports screen readers and allows you to use the Tab, Up and Down arrows, and Enter keys to access features.

Supported screen readers and browsers

     Browser: Firefox 3.0+

     Screen reader: JAWS 10+, NVDA

ARIA messages

Premier 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 using supported screen reader and browser combination.

Support for viewers with dyslexia

You can update the font to Dyslexie, a font designed to enhance the ease of reading and comprehension for people with dyslexia.
