Initial description: Person who is hard of hearing is provided with captions for a video with audio
Updated description: Martine experiencing good captions, no captions, and automatic captions, as she follows an online course. Key aspects of the SC, such as indicating audio information, is also presented.
Martine is hard of hearing. She can hear some sounds with her hearing aid but not enough to understand speech.
Frontal view of Martine’s face moving around and away from her, to see her from behind sitting at a desk and working on a computer. She has a hearing aid that is visible from this angle. (similar approach to Captions - Perspectives Video).

The captions also convey important audio information, such as who is speaking, clapping, and laughter. This helps convey the context and overall tone in the audio.
Clapping, laughing, and/or switch of speakers is reflected in the video and accompanying captions.

Also videos with automatically-generated captions are not usable for Martine. They are generally too inaccurate for her to rely on.
Martine turns on automatic captions, and we see a captioned sentence that obviously does not make sense.

Thankfully the university is now adding quality captions to all the videos that Martine has in her course.
