Guideline 1.Provide equivalent alternatives to auditory and visual content.

There are many users who have a disability of some type that makes audio and visual elements difficult or impossible for them to use. In order to prevent discrimination and to enable them to be able to fully use websites you must have a text equivalent. By having a text equivalent speech synthesizers and braille displays enable blind or vision impaired users will be able to understand what the image is, while having text equivalents of audio elements allows deaf and hearing impaired users to know what the sound is. It is also important to use alternative text for things that have both audio and visual components, such as video.
