If your video isn't accessible it isn't working

13

Let’s get straight to it:

If your video content isn’t accessible, then it’s failing — no matter how flashy the graphics, how smooth the transitions, or how persuasive the presenter. Inaccessible videos waste your resources, exclude your audience, and quietly undercut the very goals you created them to achieve.

And with the rise of AI-generated media, that problem is about to get a whole lot worse.

Why We Make Videos in the First Place

Whether you're in government, education, or the corporate sector, video has become a go-to tool for:

  • Delivering training and onboarding

  • Communicating important updates

  • Educating diverse learners

  • Promoting values and services

  • Replacing meetings (bless)

But here’s the kicker: the moment you skip accessibility — captions, transcripts, audio descriptions — your content becomes invisible to anyone who can’t hear, see, process, or focus like a textbook learner. That includes:

  • People who are Deaf or Hard-of-Hearing

  • Blind or low-vision users

  • Neurodiverse individuals (ADHD, Autism, etc.)

  • Non-native English speakers

  • Viewers with processing, anxiety, or learning differences

That’s not a small group. That’s millions.

What’s the Real Cost of Inaccessible Video?

  • Wasted Time & Budget: You spent hours scripting, shooting, editing. But for many, your video is literally unwatchable. That’s a 100% drop-off rate you didn’t see in the analytics.

  • Legal Risk: Global accessibility standards like WCAG, Section 508, and Australian DDA laws apply to video. Non-compliance? That’s a lawsuit (or at least a very awkward media headline) waiting to happen.

  • Exclusion by Design: When we forget accessibility, we design for the few — not the many. That’s not innovation. That’s inequality.

  • Missed Engagement: Accessible videos get higher engagement, better retention, and broader reach. Accessibility isn’t a cost — it’s an upgrade.

AI Is Not the Solution (Yet)

AI tools are generating video content faster than ever — internal explainers, customer onboarding, social posts, even learning modules. But guess what AI isn’t thinking about?

Accessibility.

No captions. No audio descriptions. No transcript logic. Just another fast, shiny video that leaves whole audiences behind.

Meet Aandi fixes this — not by reinventing your content, but by making it work for every kind of brain.

What Does Accessible Video Actually Require?

Here’s what every compliant, inclusive video should include:

  • Closed Captions: Not just subtitles. Captions describe dialogue and relevant sounds, synced in real time.

  • Audio Descriptions (AD): Voice-over narration of key visual elements so blind or low-vision viewers aren’t left guessing.

  • Transcript: A downloadable, searchable file that captures everything said and shown — ideal for screen readers, translators, and skimmers.

The Payoff: More Eyes. More Impact. More Integrity.

Accessible videos:

  • Help people engage when and how they need to

  • Demonstrate your commitment to real inclusion

  • Reopen legacy content to new learners and markets

  • Boost SEO and discoverability

  • Future-proof your brand, platform, or curriculum

And here's the good news: you don’t have to start from scratch.

With Meet Aandi’s cloud-based tool, you can upload any video — even one generated by AI — and instantly:

  • Auto-generate captions

  • Add and preview audio descriptions

  • Export compliant, inclusive versions in minutes

It’s $1 per minute for self-service, or $15/min if you want us to handle it end-to-end.
