L'échéance — transcription descriptive

Video: a11yfy — "The Deadline"

Duration: 0:38 (38.7 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: soft background hum, whoosh transitions between beats, a chime when the compliance stamp lands, and a rising tone under the closing logo. No sound carries information that is not also stated in speech or shown on screen.

Constant on screen: the A11YFY diamond logo and wordmark 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 – 0:04 · Twelve thousand documents

Visual: On a softly drifting indigo-and-coral gradient, a large number counts rapidly up to 12,000 and settles at 11,974, over the label "documents published". A dark pill badge pops in beneath it: "⏳ Accessibility deadline is here". Faint outlines of oversized document icons drift in the background.

Narrator: Your organization publishes thousands of documents.

0:04 – 0:10 · How many are actually readable?

Visual: The background turns pink-red. Headline: "Can a screen reader read them?" Fifty small document icons appear one by one in a grid. Almost all of them flip to a red outline with a red ✕ badge; only a handful stay grey and unmarked.

Narrator: But how many can a screen reader actually read? For most scanned PDFs, the answer is none.

0:10 – 0:17 · The cost of doing it by hand

Visual: A calendar icon wobbles above the words "Manual remediation". Below it, a counter climbs to "~3 weeks", followed by the smaller words "per document" in coral.

Narrator: Fixing them by hand takes specialists weeks — one document at a time.

0:17 – 0:27 · The automated pipeline

Visual: The background returns to indigo. Headline: "OCR → Tag → Validate". Three circled icons appear in turn — Scan, Tag, Validate — joined by a coral line that draws itself from one stage to the next. A conveyor of small document tiles moves across the frame: tiles enter marked red with an ✕ and leave marked green with a ✓.

Narrator: a11yfy does it automatically. OCR recovers the text, tags rebuild the structure, and every file is validated — in seconds, not weeks.

0:27 – 0:34 · The proof artifact

Visual: A white card titled "Accessibility Report" springs in. Report lines draw themselves across it. A blue "COMPLIANT" stamp punches in at an angle over the top-right corner. At the bottom of the card, a blue check circle next to "PDF/UA compliant".

Narrator: You get tagged, PDF/UA-compliant documents — with a report you can hand straight to procurement.

0:34 – 0:38 · 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.
