📣 Audio Description Matters

Especially with Upcoming WCAG Changes

As cities and municipalities prepare for the upcoming WCAG updates, audio description is becoming a critical requirement for ADA and WCAG compliance. State and local governments share a responsibility to ensure that all residents — including those who are blind or low-vision — can fully access public information, services, and digital content.

At VZP Digital, we’re here to help you navigate these changes with confidence. Our team can assist you in building a clear plan and process for integrating high-quality audio descriptions into your videos and digital media, so your organization stays compliant and truly inclusive.

If your city or agency is ready to get started, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

🌍 International Day of Persons with Disabilities

Today we acknowledge the innovation, leadership, and essential perspectives that disabled people bring to every corner of society. Their influence drives progress, and this day calls us to elevate and support that impact.

At VZP Digital, we believe accessibility must be built into the framework from the very beginning. When organizations design inclusively from the start, everyone benefits.

Here are a few ways we can all prioritize accessibility more intentionally:

• Prioritize accessibility in every stage of development, from planning to ex*****on, not after something is already built.

• Recognize outdated systems and update them. Legacy processes, technology, and content often unintentionally create barriers.

• Listen to disabled voices first. Lived experience should guide decision-making, design, and improvement.

• Invest in long-term accessibility, not short-term fixes. Sustainable solutions ensure equal access today and in the future.

We had a great time at the Rocky Mountain Video Expo in Denver this week! 🎥✨

It was incredible to see so much progressive technology on the show floor.

From immersive AV displays to advanced live-production tools and next-generation workflow automation. Events like this remind us just how fast the industry is evolving and how important accessibility is in every stage of content creation.

We also made some fantastic connections while folks were in town. We’re excited to continue those conversations and explore how VZP Digital can support more organizations with real-time captioning, translation, and audio description solutions.
