Why Video Is the Hidden Challenge in Title II Compliance (Full Transcript)

[00:00:00] Speaker 1: One of the things that we've seen as a challenge as schools are approaching Title II compliance is that everyone is looking for auditing solutions and web accessibility checking solutions, and those tools are fantastic for web compliance, but they have a blind spot, which is video. Many of the universities we're talking to are facing the need to make millions of minutes of content accessible and often millions of minutes per year accessible. This is every single lecture happening across the university going into their lecture capture system that suddenly needs compliance at scale, and manual review of this content is simply impossible at that level. A lot of people will use auto captions on content and hope that that makes it accessible, the problem is that even if automatic speech recognition or ASR is on average 90% accurate, you may have a video that's 95% accurate, but you may have a video that's 60% accurate. And being able to identify which one is which and where the risk lies in your organization is a huge gap. And of course, the kind of final part of the equation is cost. With traditional solutions for captioning and audio description for millions of minutes of content, this is very quickly a multi-million dollar task, and no school has the budget to achieve that.
