Provide a text alternative for audio/multimedia content

This feature includes transcription and gathering of text alternatives to multimedia content. This feature may be implemented in several ways:

• Automatic computerized transcription or captioning (voice-to-text) of audio, including live feeds, microphone input, and recorded media
• Retrieving existing transcripts or captions from other sources and linking them to the current media (e.g. a video of a presidential address may not be captioned, but is likely to have a transcript posted on a news website that can be presented to the user)
