We make audio accessible!
Subtitles and transcripts are an easy way to make your content accessible to the deaf and hard of hearing and help your business or organization to adhere to digital accessibility standards and regulations.
Digital Accessibility is a wider concept and includes Web Accessibility. It aims at the principle that everyone, including people with functional disabilities, have equal access to digital content, among others video, audio, and electronic documents.
Web Accessibility specifically refers to websites and their level of access to those with and without disabilities.
Videos and podcasts become increasingly popular as a medium for education, explanation, and user guidance. Unfortunately, without subtitles or text-alternatives, these formats are not accessible to the deaf or hard of hearing.
With today’s technology, you can easily break down this barrier by adding subtitles and transcripts, so everyone can follow content without limitations.
“In Europe, 10-15% of the population are people with disabilities. That represents approximately 50 – 75 million people in the 27 EU member states.”

The accessibility standard which is most accepted in the world is the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1). Legislation in different countries uses the WCAG 2.1 standards as a reference in order to define how digital content can be made accessible. To become compliant with the WCAG 2.1, it is important to ensure that all audio and video files on your website have a textual alternative and vice versa.
By law, all public organizations within the EU need to provide subtitles for videos that are published online in order to comply with the WCAG 2.1 standards. By the 23rd of September 2020, public organizations are required by law to publish only content that is digitally accessible.
In the United States, until December 2019, the Government had not extended Section 508 requirements beyond WCAG 2.0 AA, but it is likely that the federal government will eventually adopt the WCAG 2.1 standards. Updating your communication is a safe way to get ahead of the deadlines.
So far the creation of transcripts, subtitles, or captions was costly and required many hours of labor. Advancements in Artificial Intelligence and Speech Recognition accelerate this process and decrease the cost for organizations significantly.
