Able Player: A Fully Accessible HTML5 Media Player

Able Player v5: a JavaScript library that turns a plain HTML5 video or audio tag into a fully accessible media player.

Features:

• Closed captions and subtitles from WebVTT files
• An interactive transcript generated from your caption and chapter tracks
• Spoken audio description through the browser's speech engine
• Synced sign language video support
• Works with locally hosted files, YouTube, and Vimeo

If you build for the public sector, higher ed, or anywhere Section 508 or WCAG compliance matters, this one's worth a look.
