YuJa, Inc. Announces New AI-Generated Enhanced Audio Descriptions to Improve Video Accessibility at Scale

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--YuJa, Inc., a leader in cloud-based platforms and applications for the regulated sector, announces the release of AI-Generated Enhanced Audio Descriptions as part of its Gen AI Video PowerPack. The newest feature in the Video PowerPack was designed to help institutions comply with Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which requires audio descriptions for all prerecorded video content in synchronized media.

The AI-Generated Enhanced Audio Descriptions solution uses a powerful generative AI model to automatically generate detailed audio descriptions for video content, reducing the time and effort required to make videos more accessible for those with visual impairments. Unlike traditional audio descriptions that play over the original audio track, enhanced audio descriptions automatically pause video playback to deliver descriptions without competing with the source content.

“AI-Generated Enhanced Audio Descriptions help make video content more accessible and inclusive without hours of manual effort,” said Nathan Arora, Chief Business Officer at YuJa, Inc. “Not only does this help institutions as they work toward Title II compliance, but it enables them to efficiently scale their accessibility initiatives.”

Key features of YuJa’s AI-Generated Enhanced Audio Descriptions include:

• Automated generation of detailed Enhanced Audio Descriptions
• Pause-and-play functionality integrated with the Media Player
• Interactive Audio Description editing capabilities
• Integration with other Gen-AI Video PowerPack features
• Enterprise-grade scale and reliability

The feature is available as part of YuJa's Gen-AI Video PowerPack, which includes several AI-powered tools such as multi-language audio dubbing, AI video chaptering, and intelligent video Q&A. This comprehensive suite of tools helps institutions create more accessible and engaging video content at scale.
