If text is betweent the embed tags, of a video, your screen reader and/or dynamic braille display will display the text, instead of content between the tags. If the video has open captions, such as subtitles that are hardcoded or "burnt in" to the video, then your screen reader and/or dynamic braille display will not show them, because that is part of the video. If the video has closed captions, like Google Video, your screen reader and/or dynamic braille display will display it, because it is text.
All of my videos have a text transcript, for their description. In addition, on
my LiveJournal and
MySpace, I have redundant text, below the video. This is for two reasons. It allows greater accessibility for people who use screen readers and/or dynamic braille displays, and it also allows access for people who prefer to read, rather than watch the video.
