🎧 AI audio descriptions are here to make accessibility more affordable and easier to implement

Making your videos accessible just got a whole lot simpler (and friendlier for your budget). We’ve added AI Audio Descriptions so you can bring accessibility to your entire video library without breaking the bank.

✨ What’s new

You can now order AI Audio Descriptions right from Wistia, no extra stops required. Choose between Standard ($1/min) or Extended ($1.50/min) descriptions, with turnaround times in hours instead of days. And don’t worry, manual audio descriptions are still available if you need them.

❓Why it matters

Accessibility shouldn’t be out of reach. With AI-powered Audio Descriptions, you can meet compliance requirements (like the European Accessibility Act), make your content welcoming to all viewers, and scale across big video libraries—at about half the cost of manual options. Plus, you can manage it all directly in Wistia, saving you the time and headache of having to jump between platforms to make your content accessible.

➡️ Availability & next steps

AI Audio Descriptions are available on all paid Wistia plans as an add-on feature. You’ll see the new AI option right alongside the existing Audio Description tools in the Customize panel.
