Captions
[ATAG] Captions are equivalent alternatives for
movie audio. Captions consist of a text transcript
of the auditory track of the movie (or other video
presentation) that is synchronized with the video
and auditory tracks. Captions are generally
rendered graphically and benefit people who can
see but are deaf, hard-of-hearing, or cannot hear
the audio.
Conversion (tool)
[ATAG] A conversion is a process that takes, as
input, Web content in one format and produces,
as output, Web content in another format
(e.g.,"Save as HTML" functions).
Device independence (action)
[ATAG] A device-independent action is not bound
to only one type of input device.
Equivalent
[ATAG] An equivalent alternative is content that is [Sylvie] ok, but I do not understand the sentence:

in non-text content such as graphics and audio
clips. The text alternative is considered accessible
because it can be rendered in many different
ways (e.g. as synthesized speech for individuals
who have visual or learning disabilities, as Braille
for individuals who are blind, as graphical text for
individuals who are deaf or do not have a
disability). Equivalent alternatives also include
"media alternatives", which present essential
audio information visually (captions) and essential
video information auditorily (audio descriptions).
Repairing, Accessibility
[ATAG] Accessibility repairing is the process by
which Web content accessibility problems that
have been identified within Web content are
resolved. ATAG 2.0 identifies three categories of
repair: Automated (i.e. the authoring tool is able
to make repairs automatically, with no author
input required), Semi-Automated (i.e. the
authoring tool can provide some automated
assistance to the author in performing corrections,
but the author's input is still required before the
repair can be complete) and Manual (i.e. the
authoring tool provides the author with
instructions for making the necessary correction,
but does not automate the task in any substantial
way).
Techniques
[ATAG] Techniques are informative suggestions
and examples for ways in which the success
criteria of a checkpoint might be satisfied.
Transcript
[ATAG] Transcripts are equivalent alternatives for [Sylvie] description may be too complicated I don't understand if "collated text transcript" is a
the sounds in an audio clip or an auditory track of type of "transcript"
a multimedia presentation. A "collated text
transcript" for a video combines (collates) caption
text with text descriptions of video information
(descriptions of the actions, body language,
graphics, and scene changes of the visual track).
User Agent
[ATAG} A user agent is software that retrieves
and renders Web content. This may include Web
browsers, media players, plug-ins, and other
programs - including assistive technologies - that
help in retrieving and rendering Web content.
