We are one day away from the official launch webinar for Pulse, and the excitement is building. Most organizations think their video accessibility is "covered," but relying on auto-captions alone often leaves you exposed.

Join our Co-CEO Chris Antunes and Chief Growth Officer Lily Bond tomorrow at 2 PM ET as they reveal how to move from "guessing" to "governing." We'll show you how to close the Audio Description gap and take full control of your compliance and accessibility spend in real-time.

Stop wondering if your content is compliant and start knowing. Register at the link in the comments, and we'll see you there!

One Vision, Six Languages: See You at Entech Fest!

We believe that great innovation shouldn't have a language barrier.

As we gear up for DEG Entech Fest, the team at 3Play Media wanted to do something special to showcase how we’re bridging the gap between global content and local audiences.

To celebrate the spirit of the event, we took DEG's promotional video and gave it a 3Play makeover—dubbing it into six different languages.

Pulse by 3Play Media is the new standard for continuous video accessibility monitoring.

Most organizations feel they have captioning "figured out," but relying on auto-captions alone leaves significant gaps in quality and compliance.

Between inconsistent caption quality and the widespread uncertainty surrounding Audio Description (AD), how do you know if your video content is actually compliant?

This brand-new solution moves you from "guessing" to "governing" by providing an automated, ongoing audit of your entire video ecosystem.

Which Languages Are Required for EAA Compliance?

If you’re expanding into the EU market, the European Accessibility Act (EAA) makes one thing clear: Accessibility follows the audio, not just the source language.

Key takeaways:

- Match the Output: If you dub a video into Italian, you must provide Italian captions (SDH) and audio descriptions.
- Beyond Translation: Requirements include Subtitles for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (SDH), which cover speaker ID and essential sounds.
- Proactive Design: The EAA emphasizes "accessibility by design" — integrating these features from the start rather than tacking them on later.

Compliance isn't just a legal checkmark; it’s how you reach a truly global audience.

Our blog about EAA language requirements is linked in the comments!
