In short

  • If any page or tool is hard for you to use, message us on WhatsApp and we help another way.
  • You can describe your event in a simple message instead of using any tool.
  • For event video, decide on captions and translation early, while the plan is still being made.

Last checked: 10 October 2026.

This page covers two things: help if this website is hard for you to use, and a short guide to planning accessible video for your event.

What did we check on this site?

On the date above we checked these four things:

  • Keyboard use: moving through pages, menus, forms and tools with the keyboard alone.
  • 200% zoom: reading and using pages with the browser zoomed to 200%.
  • Mobile width: layout and buttons at a 390px phone width.
  • Colour contrast: text and buttons against their backgrounds.

These are our own checks, and the site claims no formal conformance level.

How do you report a barrier?

Message us on WhatsApp through the contact page and say which page you were on, what you were trying to do and what got in the way. If you know what would help, such as the information written out in plain text, say so and we try to provide it.

You can reach us without any tool. Describing your event in a simple message works just as well, and we ask for the rest ourselves. The enquiry page shows what to include.

How do you plan accessible video for your event?

Decide early. Accessibility works best when it is part of the plan from the start. The W3C Web Accessibility Initiative advises specifying it during planning and procurement, so it helps to raise it in your first message to us.

Ask yourself:

  1. Who will watch? Include people who are deaf or hard of hearing, people watching without sound, and viewers who speak another language.
  2. Where will it be shown? A venue screen, a livestream and a social post may each need different captions.
  3. Which languages are spoken? Mixed languages, names and accents make captions harder, so tell us what to expect.
  4. Who checks the text? Automatic captions usually need correcting. Decide who confirms spellings and names.

What can we arrange?

Captions, translated subtitles and a written transcript are available on request. We confirm what is possible for your event, date and languages before anything goes into your quote.

The caption and language specification planner helps you write down what you need. Our guide to accessible video and language planning covers the decisions in more depth. To go ahead, send your details through the enquiry page.

Tell us what is hard to use and what would help. For your event video, add the event type and the languages involved.

Questions people ask

How do I report something on this site that is hard to use?
Message us on WhatsApp. Tell us which page, what you were trying to do and what got in the way. If you tell us what would help, such as a plain-text version, we do our best to provide it.
Do I have to use the planning tools to get a quote?
The tools are optional. A short message with the event type, a rough date and the area is enough, and we ask the rest in the conversation.
Can you add captions to my event video?
Captions can be added on request and are confirmed for each event. Tell us the languages spoken and where the video will be shown, and we explain what is possible.
Are automatic captions good enough?
They are a start. Automatic captions need an accuracy check and usually corrections, especially with names, mixed languages and accents. We tell you what checking is involved for your video.
Can the video have translated subtitles?
Translated subtitles can be arranged on request, confirmed for each event. It helps to know early which languages your audience uses, so the plan and the time needed are realistic.
