I know generating a transcript may take more time and effort. Are there useful tools to help with this? If there are captions already on a video is there something that can be used to auto create a transcript from them? And one that is accessible for screen readers?

There are many reasons to post a transcript with a video. First, accessibility. Also, skimmability (a word?)—good for anyone who wants to know if it’s going to be worth their time to invest an hour or more in watching an extended recording. Real-time captions don’t help much with that.

Earlier today I asked about accessibility of PDFs produced with LaTeX. Should just have done a web search of course. Here is one post that suggests making them fulfill accessibility requirements (in Europe) is challenging, and in the case of creating tagged PDFs, may require compiling to html & MathML: homepages.ucl.ac.uk/~ucahmto/e

Or does it depend on whether one has done accessible things like headers, accessible tables with header rows/columns, etc? I mean, does the underlying creation tool matter less than the structure of the PDF output?
