Even if you use auto-generated captions, we strongly recommend a manual review and correction process. This ensures the captions are accurate, clear, and fully compliant with accessibility expectations.

Thank you for your question!

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that your product be accessible, while the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) explain how to make it accessible.

11

There’s no fixed requirement, but it’s best to conduct accessibility audits regularly and at key milestones.

Thank you for your question!

Even when using auto-generated captions, we strongly advise reviewing and editing them manually to ensure they are accurate, clear, and fully meet accessibility standards.

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines are a set of standards that explain how to make digital content accessible to people with disabilities. What’s new in recent updates is a stronger focus on mobile accessibility, cognitive disabilities, and more flexible guidelines to keep up with modern technologies.

14

Recent changes to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines focus on the latest WCAG 3.0 working draft. It introduces a new structure, a different scoring model (Bronze/Silver/Gold), and a stronger focus on user experience, including mobile and cognitive accessibility.

The more painful answer is “everytime you create or update materials.” This doesn’t mean a full audit however. Run your full audit every six months to a year depending on how frequently your content changes. For public websites where content is changing rapidly, you will need to audit more frequently. For more static websites, like online course content, etc. you can do fewer audits as long as you are continually checking any newly created or updated content. So really the answer depends of the volume and frequencey of changes to your content.
