        "content": "Here\u2019s a breakdown of what kinds of content *1.1.1 Non-text Content* doesn\u2019t fully cover, and which other WCAG success criteria handle those cases. All points reference WCAG 2.0 / 2.1 guidelines under Guideline 1.1 (Text Alternatives) and Guideline 1.2 (Time-based Media).  \n\n---\n\n## Exceptions in SC 1.1.1 \u2014 When full \u201cequivalent purpose\u201d is **not** required\n\nWCAG 1.1.1 lays out several situations where non-text content doesn\u2019t need a full text alternative, only a minimal form of labeling or identification. These are the main ones:  \n\n| Type of content | What WCAG requires under 1.1.1 |\n|------------------|-----------------------------------|\n| **Time-based media** (audio-only, video-only, or video + audio) | Must provide a **descriptive identification** of the content so users can tell what it is; full text equivalent is handled elsewhere (see Guideline 1.2) ([w3.org](https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding/non-text-content.html?utm_source=openai)) |\n| **Controls / input** | If non-text content accepts user input or is a control (e.g. image-button), it must have a name that describes its purpose. No need for full description, just purpose. ([w3.org](https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding/non-text-content.html?utm_source=openai)) |\n| **Tests or exercises** that would break if converted to text (e.g. hearing tests, visual-skills tests) | Only a descriptive identification of what the test is about; providing more would defeat the test\u2019s purpose. ([w3.org](https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding/non-text-content.html?utm_source=openai)) |\n| **Sensory experiences** intended primarily to evoke a sensory reaction (e.g. music, visual art, ASMR-like soundscapes) | Provide identification; capturing every sensory detail in text isn't required. ([w3.org](https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding/non-text-content.html?utm_source=openai)) |\n| **CAPTCHA / Verification systems** | Describe what the CAPTCHA does, why it's there, and provide alternate types (e.g. audio, logic puzzles) to accommodate different needs. The CAPTCHA\u2019s main function shouldn\u2019t be undermined. ([w3.org](https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding/non-text-content.html?utm_source=openai)) |\n| **Decoration, formatting, invisible items** | Purely decorative content or content used only for layout/formatting doesn\u2019t need an alt text\u2014just be sure assistive tech can ignore it (e.g. empty alt, use role=\u201dpresentation\u201d, etc.) ([w3.org](https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding/non-text-content.html?utm_source=openai)) |\n\n---\n\n## What\u2019s not covered by SC 1.1.1 \u2014 and where those cases **are** addressed\n\nSome non-text content isn\u2019t fully covered by SC 1.1.1 because the \u201ctext alternative that serves the equivalent purpose\u201d requirement is relaxed. If you need full access (beyond the \u201cdescriptive identification\u201d level), these are the relevant success criteria under **Guideline 1.2: Time-based Media** (about audio, video, synchronized media).  \n\nHere are the specific success criteria that cover time-based media in more depth:  \n\n| Success Criterion | What it requires / covers |\n|-------------------|-----------------------------|\n| **1.2.1 Audio-only and Video-only (Prerecorded, Level A)** | For prerecorded audio-only or video-only media, provide a media alternative or transcript. If video-only, a description of what\u2019s being shown in the video. If audio-only, a text transcript. ([w3.org](https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG20/Understanding/time-based-media?utm_source=openai)) |\n| **1.2.2 Captions (Prerecorded, Level A)** | All prerecorded video must have synchronized captions. ([w3.org](https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG20/Understanding/time-based-media?utm_source=openai)) |\n| **1.2.3 Audio Description or Media Alternative (Prerecorded, Level A)** | For prerecorded video with visuals, either audio description track or a full text alternative describing the visuals. ([w3.org](https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG20/Understanding/time-based-media?utm_source=openai)) |\n| **1.2.4 Captions (Live, Level A)** | Live video content with audio must have live captions. ([w3.org](https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG20/Understanding/time-based-media?utm_source=openai)) |\n| **1.2.5 Audio Description (Prerecorded, Level AA)** | Adds more descriptive audio for video content, beyond what\u2019s in the main dialogue or audio. ([w3.org](https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG20/Understanding/time-based-media?utm_source=openai)) |\n| **(Higher-level criteria)** 1.2.6, 1.2.7, 1.2.8, 1.2.9 | These address **sign language interpretation** (prerecorded), **extended audio description**, **media alternatives** for prerecorded media, and **audio-only live** media. Mostly for AAA or higher thresholds. ([w3.org](https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG20/Understanding/time-based-media?utm_source=openai)) |\n\n---\n\n## Putting it together: when you need what\n\n- If content is non-text and not in one of the exception cases above, SC 1.1.1 requires an alt text or equivalent so that it can be fully understood by users who rely on other modalities (e.g. screen readers). ([w3.org](https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding/non-text-content.html?utm_source=openai))  \n- If it *is* time-based media (audio, video, synchronized media), SC 1.1.1 requires you to label or identify it, but the **full alternative** (transcript, captions, audio description, etc.) is required under the appropriate SCs under Guideline 1.2. ([w3.org](https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG20/Understanding/time-based-media?utm_source=openai))  \n- For decorative or invisible items, or purely sensory or test content, 1.1.1 allows relaxed treatment\u2014but still requires descriptive identification for what the item *is*, or at least its purpose, unless it\u2019s decoration or something purely aesthetic. ([w3.org](https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding/non-text-content.html?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can also pull up **example wording for alt text** in these different situations, or a checklist you can use to assess whether non-text content is covered or exempt under 1.1.1."
