Web Audio Guidance

MEDIA FORMATS
--The file format option should support good compression so that file sizes and bandwidth issues do not prohibit users from accessing audio
--Consider using royalty free options so that users in your target audience can view the audio using their favorite web browser.
--The format should support good sound quality so that the message is received clearly.

ACCESSIBILITY OPTIONS
--Provide text-based transcripts.
--Use closed-captioning when using videos.
--Test pages with assistive technologies.

LEGAL ISSUES
--Seek permission when using a word you did not create.--Utilize the Creative Commons to locate audio files that can be used legally.
--Consider creating your own work or hire a sound designer.

Finally, test features using mobile devices since many users are accessing websites using this option.
