About Subly
What is Subly?
Subly is an AI-powered accessibility platform for pre-recorded video and audio content. It automatically checks, flags, and fixes accessibility issues — from captions and transcripts to colour contrast, flashing warnings, and text clarity — reducing manual work by up to 90%.
Who is it for?
Subly is built for content creators, marketers, agencies, and enterprise teams who produce customer demos, social videos, training materials, or any recorded media that must meet WCAG, EN 301 549, EAA, ADA, or ACA compliance standards. It is not designed for live streaming or real-time broadcast.
Key capabilities
Subly’s AI agent scans every frame for compliance issues, generates automated captions and transcripts in 100+ languages, detects risky flashing content, and provides an intuitive editor for final review. Optional human services allow you to order proofread captions, polished translations, or custom audio descriptions without leaving the platform.
