Section 508-compliant Transcription Services
RGM Incorporated proudly presents our Section 508-compliant transcription services, the accessible media alternative for pre-recorded video content. While audio description remains the gold standard for providing accessibility to users who are visually impaired, our Section 508-compliant transcripts offer a valuable alternative, ensuring fully accessible content for individuals with disabilities.
Key Features
- Comprehensive Transcripts. Our transcripts capture all audible content within the media, providing a detailed written record.
- Visual Descriptions. We include visual descriptions of all relevant on-screen information within the transcript text.
- 508 Compliance. Each transcript is meticulously remediated for 508 compliance, ensuring full functionality with screen reader technology.
- Accessibility. The final product is a fully accessible transcript in 508-compliant format, enabling non-sighted or low-vision individuals to interpret all visual content within the video.
Providing visual description for pre-recorded video:
- Budget Constraints. When budgets lack funding for full audio description, our transcriptions offer a cost-effective solution.
- Talking Head Videos. When full audio description is not feasible, such as talking head videos with a single speaker, our transcription service is ideal.
- Complex Content. When complex content prevents full audio description, our transcriptions provide an accessible alternative.
- Urgency. When you need accessible media quickly, our rapid solution ensures quick turnaround without compromising quality.
WCAG 2.0 Compliance
RGM’s 508-compliant transcription service is an alternate way to convey visual information within video content to non-sighted users. Transcription accessibility for videos with a single speaker (talking head videos) is recognized as valid under WCAG 2.0 AA success criteria. Our transcripts also meet AAA success criteria, providing full accessibility for both visual and verbal content in one simple platform. In limited cases, our transcripts can even satisfy the requirements for audio description under Section 508 compliance regulations.
