AI-Media Launches ADA Title II Compliance Initiative For US Governments

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 3 (Bernama) -- AI-Media, a global leader in artificial intelligence (AI)-powered captioning and audio description technology, has launched its ADA Title II Compliance Initiative, aimed at helping state and local governments across the United States (US) meet the newly finalised federal accessibility requirements for digital content.

In April 2024, the US Department of Justice finalised the ADA Title II Web and Mobile Accessibility Rule, requiring public entities to conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA across websites, mobile apps, and multimedia content. Compliance deadlines begin April 24, 2026, for entities serving more than 50,000 people, and April 26, 2027, for smaller jurisdictions and special districts.

“Public entities are facing one of the most significant accessibility transitions in decades. The new ADA Title II rule sets clear expectations for digital accessibility–and our mission is to equip governments with AI-powered tools that deliver compliance simply, affordably, and at scale,” said AI-Media Co-founder & Chief Executive Officer, Tony Abrahams.

According to a statement, the initiative includes a multi-month educational campaign and the release of a 10-Point ADA Title II Compliance Checklist.

Central to the programme are two flagship AI-Media technologies, namely LEXI Text, which provides AI-powered captioning and transcription for live and prerecorded content, and LEXI AD, which delivers AI-powered audio description with advanced customisation for natural-sounding narration, enabling agencies to meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards efficiently.

“As agencies prepare for the new ADA Title II deadlines, they are looking for scalable, cost-effective ways to deliver accessible digital services. LEXI Text and LEXI AD provide exactly that–AI-driven captioning and audio description solutions that help public entities comply at scale,” Abrahams added.

The campaign aligns with AI-Media’s expanded Government Solutions programme, designed to support public entities through scalable technology and predictable cost models.

AI-Media will host a national webinar, "ADA Title II: Compliance Made Simple with AI", on Jan 20, 2026. The session will review WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility requirements and demonstrate how AI-driven captioning and audio description tools support compliance.
