Transcript - The video starts with the Alexa logo over a close-up of hands cutting and painting pieces of paper at a coffee table. An Echo Show can be seen in the background. Soft ambient music starts. Words appear on the screen: “Real Time Text.” The camera pans out: we see a couple sitting on a couch in a living room working on an art project. He paints, she cuts paper. The coffee table is covered with art supplies: pictures, paint jars, brushes. The woman, Sandra, looks at the Echo Show and signs to the man, Julian, “I’m supposed to call someone right now.” She reaches over to the Echo Show and taps “Call” on the screen. She scrolls down and selects a recent contact. She sits back and waits for the call to connect. A woman, Elizabeth, appears on the screen. A keyboard also appears below their videos. Both women enthusiastically wave to each other, mouthing “Hi.” Julian waves as well, smiling. Elizabeth’s typed words appear below her video next to her initials, “EM.” EM: “Is that Julian????” Sandra: “yupppp.” We can see Julian leaning into the video frame, smiling and waving. He sits back. EM: “He’s cute!” with a big smile. Sandra: “I know,” laughing. Julian taps on the Sandra’s arm and signs, “I’m going to let you two talk. I’m going to go do some things, OK?” Sandra, smiling, signs “Fine” and squeezes his arm. Julian waves goodbye to Elizabeth, and gets up from the couch. Elizabeth mouths “bye” and waves. Sandra signs to Julian: “You’re leaving, I see how it is…” Sandra turns her attention back to the video call, smirking, nodding. She starts typing again. The video cuts to a dark background with words appearing as if they are typed in real time: “Learn more about Reel (misspelled with two e’s, corrected and retyped correctly), Real Time Text at Amazon.com/AlexaAccessibility.” The Amazon logo appears. The music peters out. The video ends."
