Globale Compliance — beschreibendes Transkript

Video: a11yfy — "Global Compliance"

Duration: 0:42 (42.4 s) · Language: English (US)

This is a descriptive transcript: it carries both the spoken narration and the information that is only shown on screen, so it works as a standalone alternative to the video (WCAG 2.2 SC 1.2.3 / 1.2.8).

Voices: a single narrator (synthetic American English voice). No dialogue, no screen-reader audio in this video.

Sound: whoosh transitions between beats, a dull thud as the NON-COMPLIANT stamp lands, a chime as it turns to COMPLIANT, and a rising tone under the closing logo.

Constant on screen: the A11YFY logo in the top-right corner; the social cuts carry burned-in captions along the bottom; the web cuts render clean and the player supplies the same caption text from a WebVTT track.

0:00 – 0:05 · Two continents

Visual: A globe icon pulses gently in the centre of a soft indigo gradient, flanked by two pill badges: an indigo "EU" on one side and a coral "US" on the other. Headline: "Two continents. One requirement."

Narrator: Two continents. One requirement: make it accessible.

0:05 – 0:13 · The EU: the European Accessibility Act

Visual: The EU flag appears beside a document icon and a calendar icon. An indigo pill badge below reads "EAA — European Accessibility Act".

Narrator: In the EU, the European Accessibility Act requires many digital documents and services to be accessible to people with disabilities.

0:13 – 0:22 · The US: ADA and Section 508

Visual: The background turns pink-red. The US flag appears beside a scales-of-justice icon and a government-building icon. A coral pill badge below reads "ADA / Section 508".

Narrator: In the US, the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 508 for federal agencies set similar requirements for digital accessibility.

0:22 – 0:31 · One shared technical foundation

Visual: Two large translucent circles slide together into a Venn diagram — an indigo one labelled "EU · EAA" and a coral one labelled "US · ADA". In the overlap, a document icon with a green check mark appears. A dark pill badge beneath reads "PDF/UA · WCAG".

Narrator: Different laws, same technical foundation: tagged, structured documents that assistive technology can actually read.

0:31 – 0:38 · The risk, and the fix

Visual: A large document icon carries a red ✕ badge and a red stamp reading "NON-COMPLIANT". At about 0:35 the stamp flips: the icon turns green, the badge becomes a green ✓, and the stamp now reads "COMPLIANT".

Narrator: Non-compliance risks fines, legal complaints, and lost contracts — wherever you operate.

0:38 – 0:42 · End card

Visual: The a11yfy diamond mark — an indigo diamond with a coral folded top corner — rotates into place above the A11YFY wordmark. The slogan "Accessibility, automated." rises beneath it, a coral rule sweeps out under the line, and the address A11YFY.COM fades in.

Narrator: a11yfy. Accessibility, automated.
