1/2 This video is probably a good example of one which, aside from the "The TRUTH about the ADHD Superpower" heading, really doesn't need a screen reader to read the text. The text is captions of what is being said in the video - that is a great thing for those who are deaf or otherwise benefit from captions. For a screen reader user listening to text, in this particular case, they are generally better off listening to the dialog being spoken direclty
2/3 NVDA CAN read the captions - press NVDA+r to have NVDA use OCR on the text. Note that NVDA has a setting to periodically refresh OCR. It's not perfect, but could be used in a situation like this (if that text WASN'T already being spoken for instance). By far the best option is for the video to ensure needed information is conveyed both visually and audibly to suit all audiences.
Note that audio description in this case could also describe the room etc - that information is not currently conveyed, although in this video it is arguably secondary to the dialog.
@NVAccess Thank you for taking the time to answer this for me. I deeply appreciate the information. It makes sense now, the text would be extraneous. (Going to write down this info, so I hopefully won’t forget!)
I appreciate you so thoroughly explaining everything. Have a good weekend. 😊
You're welcome :) In this particular case, a screen reader user can ignore that text - there are other videos where similar such text may be useful, and it may also depend on the platform the video is on as to how accessible that is - On some platforms you don't need to use OCR at all, just move NVDA's focus to the text as you start the video, and it will keep reading out new text as it changes.
