Recap AI Audio Descriptions
Recap Innovations is an AI-powered complete video accessibility platform for education, government, and enterprise organizations that need to make large video libraries accessible to blind and low-vision viewers.
Recap automatically generates narrated audio descriptions of visual content in pre-recorded videos: actions, settings, on-screen text, diagrams, and other information not conveyed through dialogue. Organizations can process thousands of videos with same-day turnaround instead of the weeks or months required by traditional human-only workflows.
Standard and extended modes. Standard descriptions fit into natural pauses without extending video length, ideal for lectures and presentations. Extended descriptions pause the video at each cue point for richer detail, ideal for STEM content, lab demonstrations, and complex diagrams. Both modes are available in Recap's player, as shareable links, embeddable iframes, and exported MP4 files with descriptions baked in.
Full editing control. Edit description text directly, refine cues in Recap's Voice AD Studio, regenerate AI voiceovers, and optionally add professional human review for accuracy, pacing, and domain-specific terminology.
No vendor lock-in. Export described videos as MP4, sidecar files (SRT, WebVTT, DFXP), shareable links, or embeddable players for any website or LMS. Exported files play in any standard media player.
Integrations and automation. Connect to Kaltura, Panopto, Brightcove, YouTube, Canvas Studio, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex, Google Meet, Google Drive, Box, and more. Auto-processing workflows can automatically audio describe new recordings as they arrive. Bulk processing handles large batches from integrated platforms. Built-in budget limits and hard/soft cap enforcements allow your staff to process a fixed amount of video per purchase order without exceeding department monthly spending caps.
Compliance. Helps organizations meet ADA Title II, WCAG 2.1 Level AA (1.2.5 and 1.2.7), Section 508, AODA, and EAA requirements for pre-recorded video.
Multilingual support. 190+ languages for translation and multi-language captioning, including Spanish and other language audio description tracks.
Recap’s audio description engine handles the full range of educational and institutional video formats, including:
Lecture capture and hybrid lectures
Screencasts and code-along tutorials
Lab demonstrations and experiments
Whiteboard and lightboard sessions
Talking head with slides
Animated explainers and documentary-style content
Picture-in-picture and split-screen layouts
Virtual classroom and webinar recordings
360-degree and VR immersive content (may require human-review)
Recap applies format-aware description strategies so screencasts, STEM content, and narrative video each get appropriate treatment.
