Kaltura launches REACH accessibility suite
REACH, designed for language-learners and people with hearing issues, enables educational entities, workplaces, media firms and service providers to extend video services while meeting compliance and access standards.
Captions (subtitles) are a confirmed educational tool for the digital-hearing and language-learning populations, and benefit everyone in a learning session. One industry standard to note is ADA/508 compliance, to give video-access to these populations in educational and training contexts.
Kaltura’s trade partners include cielo24, VoiceBase, Amara, 3Play Media and Dotsub, with industry players being Frameweld, Knowmia and Panopto.
