# Caption video, transcribe audio

By Erik Bergstedt, Agent Wranglers. Updated 2026-10-20.

- Level: Required
- Chapter: [Accessibility](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/website/accessibility)
- Rule: Caption every video and give a transcript for audio.
- How: Add `<track kind="captions">` to videos, and a text transcript next to audio.
- Check: Play with the sound off. Everything said is readable.

Example:

```html
<video controls src="intro.mp4">
  <track kind="captions" src="intro.en.vtt" srclang="en" label="English" default>
</video>
<audio controls src="episode-1.mp3"></audio>
<a href="/podcast/episode-1/transcript">Read the transcript</a>
```
