blog

Austin, Texas – ansrsource is proud to announce the launch of ansrAccess, a first-of-its-kind comprehensive, affordable, AI-powered accessibility solution. ansrAccess provides sustainable, ongoing, managed digital accessibility services backed by a global team of certified learning experts. ansrsource serves leading Universities, Corporations, and Publishers with their learning, accessibility, and Universal Design needs, and we’re excited to add ansrAccess to our portfolio of offerings. 

Recent data shows that up to 26% of adults in the United States have some type of disability. However, many businesses, organizations, and education providers struggle to make their digital resources fully accessible and compliant with current WCAG standards. 

“Our vision is for every learner in every organization to have fully accessible and engaging digital experiences,” says ansrsource President and CEO Rajiv Narayana. “Achieving digital accessibility can be a big challenge for organizations. It’s expensive, accessibility standards evolve frequently, and most remediation tools are incomplete and fragmented. ansrAccess is a first-of-its-kind solution, leveraging the power and speed of AI combined with the contextual accuracy of human oversight to help organizations overcome these challenges.” 

The unique ansrAccess solution provides ongoing accessibility remediation, continuous monitoring and remediation of digital content through a dedicated AI workflow, and remediation tools that can be integrated within any existing Learning Management System, Content Management System, or bespoke content development workflow. 

ansrAccess provides accessibility services for all organizations, including higher education institutions, corporations, non-profits, associations, government entities, and more. Beyond ongoing accessibility remediation, our services include: 

  1. Enterprise-level, role-based accessibility training: Off-the-shelf, role-based accessibility training for the whole organization—all levels, roles, and teams 
  1. Legacy accessibility audit and remediation: Legacy content audit and remediation for all digital media, including documents, images, HTML pages, videos, and audio 
  1. Accessibility consultation: Expert consultation on ways to incorporate accessibility into design, storyboarding, organizational processes, and governance strategies 

“We begin where others end,” says ansrsource’s Chief Product Officer Seamus Harreys. “Most remediation tools evaluate the accessibility of digital content and tell you where you’ve gone wrong. We identify the problems and then fix them. ansrAccess is a full complement of tools and services that help you comply quickly and stay compliant. We like to say it’s ‘Digital Accessibility as a Service’ because we serve you while helping you serve all of your constituents – learners, employees, and clients—regardless of limitations.”
