Introducing Echo Labs: Captioning Powered by AI

The Office of Digital Accessibility is introducing a new Master Service Agreement with Echo Labs: a video captioning and audio description service powered by AI.  

The platform’s AI functionality streamlines video accessibility processes, saving the community both time and money while ensuring video content is accessible to all.
