Create an accessible twin of a visual explainer

Pairs a visual story with captions, spoken description and a text-first version that carries the same facts.

Prompt

Make an accessible companion to this [VIDEO, STORYBOARD OR INFOGRAPHIC] for [AUDIENCE]. The essential facts are [FACTS], the intended action is [ACTION], and the source material is [SOURCE MATERIAL]. If you cannot inspect the supplied visual, ask for a transcript or frame descriptions; do not pretend to have seen it.

First list the information conveyed only by imagery, colour, movement or sound. Then produce: a concise text-first explanation; timed captions if timing is supplied; short audio-description lines that fit natural pauses; useful alt text for each key frame; and a plain-language transcript that identifies speakers and meaningful sounds. Keep the facts, sequence and call to action consistent across all versions. Explain where an audio description would collide with speech and suggest a separate described version if needed.

Finish with a comparison table checking that each essential fact survives in visual, captioned, audio-described and text-only forms. Mark anything that cannot be made equivalent without new material. Do not guess a person's appearance, identity, disability or intent. Avoid captions that paraphrase away prices, dates, safety information or eligibility rules.
