Accessibility

Inclusivity comes standard

Everything from customizable captions to high-contrast colors are baked into every video you host with Wistia, so accessibility isn't something you have to think about. It's just the way your videos are.

Transcripts & captions made easy

Transcript UI with search and transcript text

Auto-generated transcripts

Every time you upload or record a video, Wistia automatically transcribes it. That makes it easier to watch without sound—and (bonus!) more discoverable by search engines.

Viewer caption settings UI with font and color options

Viewer caption settings

Give your audience control over how they watch your videos. With viewer caption settings at the ready, they can pick the transcript font, size, and color they want.

Stylized burnt-in captions UI for social clips

Stylized, burnt–in captions

Most people check their social feeds, stories, and reels with the sound off, but fret not. With Wistia's editor, you can add stylized, burnt-in captions to your social clips in seconds.

Audio description UI and person speaking on video

Add audio descriptions where you do all your video-ing

Order standard or extended audio descriptions without ever leaving Wistia. You can even give special instructions about proper titles, names, and more for spot-on pronunciation.

Accessibility checklist UI and people watching video together

A built-in accessibility grader

Our 7-point accessibility checklist updates in real time to show you how your video aligns with WCAG AA guidelines. It lives right in our customize panel, so if something’s not checked off, you can add it to your videos right then and there.

AI dubbing and translation UI with multiple languages

Go global with AI dubbing & translations

Dub and transcribe your videos in 50+ languages, from Spanish to Swahili. Our AI clones your speaker's real voice and syncs the dubbed audio with their lip movements, so things feel real, not robot-y.
