What ADAI Does
The turnkey solution for ADA compliance and video accessibility
Audio Description AI is the turnkey solution to a new video accessibility requirement for ADA compliance, meeting the needs of the visually impaired.
ADAI is the first technology to fully automate Audio Description (AD) generation in one custom agentic flow. From upload to export, our agent assesses content, generates professional descriptions, voices them, and inserts the voiceover perfectly—all automatically.
What is Audio Description?
AD is an embedded voiceover narrative describing just the visual elements of a video scene. It is a key component of WCAG 2.1 AA, the new digital standard required for ADA compliance.
Full Automation
ADAI's unique proprietary technology creates the AD version of any video from start to finish, without requiring human decision-making. All you need to do is upload.
The Compliance Shift
Deadline: April 2026 for larger entities, April 2027 for those serving under 50,000. There is a penalty for non-compliance.
Cost & Scale
Unlike labor-intensive human creation or piecemeal AI tools, ADAI offers a complete solution that scales to meet immediate compliance needs.
How It Works
We serve public entities, media, and private industry including education and healthcare
Subscription Blocks
Clients purchase a block of runtime minutes. This predictable pricing allows you to prioritize content and manage budgets effectively.
Delivery Method
Choose between downloading DRM-protected AD videos or streaming them directly from our secure servers.
Compliance Proof
Upon setup, receive a Letter of Intent demonstrating good faith effort to comply with DOJ standards for potential audits.
Portal & Player
Upload content via our secure portal. We also provide a free video player with an accessibility toggle for your end users.
Enterprise & Large Entities
For entities serving over 50,000 people (like university systems or healthcare networks), we offer an arbitrage system. Use our services to serve smaller entities within your system under one efficient agreement.
Our Technology: AI-Powered Accessibility
The Accessibility Engine: A cloud-native, scalable AI platform.
Multimodal Intelligence
Our core processing engine utilizes Vertex AI (Gemini 3 Pro) for deep, multimodal analysis of video content, allowing us to accurately identify visual context and generate frame-accurate description scripts.
Scalable Automation
The entire generation process is orchestrated using a serverless job architecture (Cloud Run Jobs), ensuring massive parallel processing and instantaneous scaling to handle vast media libraries.
Precision Audio Synthesis
We convert AI-generated scripts into high-quality, natural voiceovers using industry-leading Cloud Text-to-Speech technology, meeting the highest standards for listening experience.
Global Delivery
Finalized content is prepared for adaptive bitrate streaming via the Transcoder API and delivered with high-throughput, low-latency performance through Media CDN.
The Result
"We turn hours of manual, expensive work into minutes of automated, reliable processing, empowering media companies to achieve universal accessibility with speed and efficiency."
