Subly Media accessibility, automated

What is Subly?

Subly provides an all-in-one platform designed to automate the process of making digital media accessible. It utilizes an autonomous AI agent to meticulously check pre-recorded video and audio files for accessibility issues, including compliance with standards like WCAG, ADA, and EAA. The platform identifies problems such as poor color contrast, flashing content, missing captions, and audio clarity issues, presenting findings in a detailed, frame-by-frame report.

Beyond detection, Subly offers automated fixes like generating captions, transcriptions, audio descriptions, and translations in numerous languages. It also assists with adjusting color contrast and adding trigger warnings. Users can further refine these AI-generated fixes using an intuitive online editor, collaborate with team members, or engage Subly's human expert services for enhanced quality control, ensuring content is compliant and accessible before publication.
