Request Enhanced Audio Description for YuJa Videos

Service Description

o   IDDL staff will work with Student Accessibility Services (SAS) staff to submit videos stored within YuJa for AI-Generated Enhanced Audio Descriptions for accessibility compliance at no cost to the faculty. Enhanced Audio Descriptions automatically narrate on-screen actions that aren’t spoken to help address Title II requirements.
