Embedding Audio
The <audio> element lets you embed sound files directly into your web pages. By adding the controls attribute, you allow users to play, pause, and adjust the volume of the audio. To maximize compatibility across browsers, you should provide multiple audio formats—commonly MP3, OGG, and WAV—using nested <source> elements. If a user's browser does not support the <audio> element, always include fallback text so users know audio content is present but unsupported.

To ensure your audio content is accessible, always provide a transcript. A transcript is a written version of the audio, allowing users with hearing impairments to access the information. This is essential for inclusivity and meets web accessibility guidelines.
