Hi there,
i have a problem with the Text track for Audiodescriptions. As far as I can tell, the VTT file embedded here should be read automatically by a screen reader. So far, I’ve tried three different screen readers: NVDA, JAWS, and Windows Narrator. Unfortunately, none of them read the text after playback started. Has anyone else encountered this issue? If so, how did you resolve it? How can I access the latest H5P libraries? Unfortunately, I need to install them manually. Could you please help me?

I may be wrong, but I don't
I may be wrong, but I don't think that subtitles are meant as a visual aid for people with auditive impairments primarily.
The <track kind="captions"> or <track kind="subtitles"> entries should be exposed through the browser’s media accessibility controls, but whether screen readers actually use those may be up to the browser/screenreader/configuration.
