Accessible Caption Optimization & Compliance Assistant
Optimize captions for ADA compliance and inclusive accessibility
What You Can Do
You can audit video captions for WCAG and ADA compliance, add precise speaker identification, optimize timing and formatting for readability, and enhance captions for Deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences.

Analyze caption-to-audio timing, flag synchronization errors, and suggest improvements to ensure captions align with speech and key audio events
Review captions for descriptive audio cues—laughter, applause, background noise, music style—and strengthen descriptions for Deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers
Evaluate line breaks, word density, and caption duration to meet accessibility standards (8-10 words per line, 5-6 seconds max display) for better comprehension
Identify barriers excluding non-native English speakers, neurodivergent viewers, or aging audiences, and suggest rewording for clarity without losing meaning
Process multiple video captions in one session, generate compliance reports with priority fixes, and track improvements over time
Recognize and preserve domain-specific language in medical, legal, technical, and specialized videos while flagging acronyms requiring explanation
