TEL AVIV, Israel, January 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- CIOReview nominates
leading digital accessibility development company EqualWeb as one of the
top compliance technology solution companies of 2021. CIOReview is a
technology magazine read by C-suite executives, industry experts,
technology buyers, and other top-ranking business decision-makers.
"EqualWeb is honored to feature as one of the world`s most promising compliance solution providers," Co-CEO of EqualWeb Erez Bahat stipulated on Monday. "Our decade-long efforts bear fruit today and, we are confident, long into the future."
EqualWeb`s year of 2021 has been characterized by major growth, as the company expanded its offices, bolstered its staff, and struck partnerships with international enterprises such as Lenovo, Zara, YMCA of Greater Houston, and hundreds of others.
The company offers an advanced technological solution in the field of web accessibility: a "hybrid" approach that combines both automated accessibility functions and manual remediation executed by EqualWeb`s accessibility specialists. This comprehensive method ensures the incorporation of the most up-to-date digital accessibility features for websites as well as maintaining a fully ADA compliant status with regulations.
"In the era of COVID-19," Bahat continued, "more and more people go online, not only to shop and search for information but interact with one another as well. Offering inclusivity in today`s climate is more important than ever. Providing the highest accessibility compliance standards caters to growing demands, as an equal online experience continues to permeate the public awareness."

Closed captions for videos and audio content enable people with hearing impairments to understand the content. EqualWeb has become the first web accessibility vendor to provide a video and audio closed captions option for people with disabilities as part of its automatic services.
The unique benefit of the function is that it’s entirely automatic. Moreover, as the website owner, you can modify the automatic generic text if you find a mismatch between the video and the text (the AI may miss a few words here and there), using the Captions Editor in your dashboard.
The closed captions function includes a simple on-and-off activation button, a rating vote for feedback purposes, a new transcription window over the video or audio element, and a captions download option. The captions’ font conforms to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 standards for easily accessible fonts.
An accessible design for a website means that the website is designed and developed in a way that makes it usable and understandable for people with disabilities. This includes people with visual, auditory, physical, cognitive, and neurological disabilities.
In the web accessibility field we hear a lot about assistive technology. But people without disabilities will be mostly ignorant about what assistive technology actually is, as well as what constitutes assistive technology. So let us break down for you the meaning of assistive technology, how important it is, and what your role, as the providers of goods and services to individuals with impairments, is for compatibility with assistive technologies.
