LAWS:.
CVAA Requirements
The CVAA requires captioning for streaming content
that previously appeared on television. Streamed
content should be closed captioned within 12 hours of
airing for live video and within 8 hours of airing for
near-live video.
FCC Caption Quality Requirements
The FCC provides caption quality requirements for
Accuracy, Completeness, Synchronicity, and
Placement.
ADA, Rehabilitation Act
Digital media that goes straight to streaming is
covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA) and the Rehabilitation Act and should be
captioned.
WCAG 2.1 AA
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) is
the international standard for web accessibility. 3Play
Media’s services comply with WCAG 2.1 AA
requirements for video.

12. “If you are a hearing person, you are welcomed into a world of
lifelong learning through access to a community offering videos
on virtually any topic imaginable, from climate change to world
history or the arts.
No captions is like no ramp for people in wheelchairs or signs
stating ‘people with disabilities are not welcome.’”

CAPTIONING.
LIVE & NEAR LIVE
Live or near-live video (recorded within the
last 24 hours) should be closed captioned
within 12 hours of airing for live video and
within 8 hours of airing for near-live video.
PRE-RECORDED
Pre-recorded video (recorded more than 24
hours ago) that previously appeared on
television with captions should be closed
captioned when published online.
CLIPS & MONTAGES
The above requirements apply equally to
full length programming, clips, and
montages.

API WORKFLOW
Automate captioning requests via API and
platform integrations so it is part of your
production workflow. Consider progressive
delivery.
GUARANTEED TURNAROUND
Develop SLAs for each type of content (pre-
recorded, live, near-live), automate
submission by turnaround, and find a
vendor who can guarantee these deadlines.
SCALABILITY
Most organizations needing to comply with
the CVAA have a lot of video. Your solution
can’t work some of the time. It has to work
all of the time. It should also work for you as
you grow in the future.

CVAA RULES FOR BROADCAST
Top 4 broadcast & top 5 non-broadcast
networks must provide 87.5 hours of audio
described content per calendar quarter.
ADA
Requirements for audio description are
extended to streaming media; don’t be a
case of not enough compliance. While less
specific, the ADA has broader application.
FCC REPORT TO CONGRESS
The question of whether the FCC should
expand CVAA requirements for audio
description to Video-On-Demand (VOD) is
being asked.

AUTOMATION & PUBLISHING
To publish audio description at scale,
particularly digitally, automating the
workflow & publishing process is critical.
FAST TURNAROUND
Traditional audio description providers have
a long production workflow - they use voice
actors, scripting, and audio editing. This
leads to a long turnaround that doesn’t
scale.
COST
Traditional audio description providers cost
$15-70 per minute of video. To scale this
initiative, publishers require an attainable
price point.

Editor's Notes
In order to be accessible, they need closed captions; live captions; audio description. You can also add multilingual subtitles to make content accessible globally.
With silent autoplay, multi-tasking, and decreased attention spans, it’s getting harder and harder to keep viewers’ attention on a single video.
The FCC provides caption quality requirements for Accuracy, Completeness, Synchronicity, and Placement.
You simply cannot meet these goals without the three requirements here.

First and foremost, if you’re a video publisher, the reason NOT to caption your videos shouldn’t be because it’s hard. So with that in mind we’ve build an enterprise grade, web based account system to organize all of the work, settings, and users. There are numerous out-of-the box connections with video platforms to automate workflows, and we also empower publishers to build their own adventure if you will, using our full featured APIs
