Make your videos accessible with a new product: Scribit

Scribit.pro adds subtitles and audio description to online video, so that it meets WCAG 2.1 and reaches viewers who are blind, partially sighted, deaf or hard of hearing.

The future is accessible. You have something worth saying, and nobody should miss any of it. So you make your videos accessible to everyone. With our software you can arrange this easily, and you fully meet the web guidelines for digital accessibility under WCAG 2.1.

Why scribit.pro?

Scribit is an innovative platform that makes online videos accessible to people with a visual or hearing impairment. Adding audio description lets people who are blind or partially sighted experience the whole video. Subtitles let people who are deaf or hard of hearing follow what is being said. But enriching your videos brings many more benefits than that.

We offer the solution

Adding subtitles and audio description brings a great deal with it.

  • Meeting the obligation. With scribit.pro you fully meet the obligation of online accessibility for web video, in a single place.
  • Search engine optimisation. Adding subtitles and audio description records all the spoken text on YouTube. Your videos therefore match search terms better, so they are fully optimised for search.
  • Longer viewing time. Videos are often watched without sound, on public transport or at school, for instance. Subtitles mean people can also watch in silence.
  • A large audience. The Netherlands has over 350,000 blind and partially sighted people and 1.6 million deaf and hard of hearing people, many of them young. Our priority is to help these people follow your videos.
  • Recommended sooner. On YouTube, videos with longer viewing times are marked as a recommended video by Google sooner. And subtitles are exactly what keeps people watching for longer.
  • Greater professionalism. Adding subtitles gives your videos a more professional look. That also makes you more attractive to advertisers straight away.

Do it yourself, or have it done

With our intuitive software you can get going right away. We have built an online academy especially for you, with a number of short tutorials that get you to grips with the basic rules very quickly. Paste the link of a YouTube video into our editor, create the audio description and the subtitles, and publish them on your website.

Or have it done. Hand the job to professionals and they will make your videos fully accessible in no time. Send us the videos or the links and we will deliver exactly what you need for the best possible accessibility. Not bad, is it?
