YuJa Panorama for Digital Accessibility – Update RC20220819 Released to US, CAN, and EU Zones

We have successfully pushed an update to all instances residing in the United States, Canada and the European Union. This release focuses on dynamic accessibility suggestions for WYSIWYG text regions, language translation support for Text-to-Speech, increased options for Website Accessibility, enhancement to Panorama’s ability to generate Accessibility Reports, and more.

1. Dynamic WYSIWYG Support and Real-Time Accessibility Suggestions
   A major step forward in digital accessibility is now available with our new real-time accessibility suggestions for WYSIWYG text regions. Accessibility Reports will now generate and provide dynamic feedback as Instructors create WYSIWYG content. This enables Panorama to offer real-time accessibility suggestions and solutions to issues surrounding images and URLs that do not contain alternative descriptions. In future releases, we will continue to build upon this initial capability-set around real-time accessibility suggestions.
