The first and only partnership delivering complete accessibility coverage across media, websites, and digital products, all in line with the European Accessibility Act (EAA) and WCAG standards.
We’re excited to announce that Subly has entered into a strategic partnership with Funka, one of Europe’s leading organisations in accessibility innovation, audits, and inclusive digital strategy. Together, we’re delivering the first end-to-end accessibility solution that spans media, websites, and digital products. This enables organisations to meet accessibility standards at every digital touchpoint.
This is more than just compliance. Funka brings over 25 years of leadership in accessibility strategy, innovation, and WCAG auditing. Their work begins at the executive level, helping organisations embed accessibility at C-suite level and build long-term strategies that drive inclusive design and operations. Subly’s AI-powered media accessibility platform complements this with automation tools that check and fix accessibility issues in video and audio content, ensuring speed, scale, and accuracy.
It’s incredibly exciting to partner with a company like Funka, which has such a long-standing legacy in the accessibility space. With more than 25 years of experience supporting global organisations, Funka is the gold standard. This partnership ensures that Subly customers can now access trusted strategic and technical expertise, while Funka clients benefit from first-of-its-kind automation to check and fix accessibility in media content.
said Holly Stephens, CEO of Subly.
Subly: The First AI-Powered Media Accessibility Platform for Full WCAG Standards
In April, Subly launched a major upgrade, evolving from a transcription, captioning, and translation tool to the first complete media accessibility platform, built to support WCAG 2.1 and 2.2 compliance at scale.
The platform now includes:
- AI Agent – Automatically scans video and audio frame by frame to detect flashing visuals, low colour contrast, missing captions, and more
- Accessibility Report – Flags exactly what needs fixing and where, enabling fast resolution to avoid legal and reputational risks
- WCAG Compliance Dashboard – Tracks accessibility across large volumes of content, clearly showing which assets pass or fail
- Accessibility Editor – Fix content in-platform using AI tools for captions, transcripts, audio descriptions, and localisation. Expert help is also available through Subly’s Access Services team
Subly gives content, DE&I, compliance, and comms teams everything they need to meet accessibility standards, stay compliant, and scale accessibility without slowing down production or adding complexity. This ensures accessible media content at scale.
One Ecosystem for Digital Accessibility Compliance
With the European Accessibility Act (EAA) coming into force in June 2025 and WCAG 2.2 standards being adopted globally, organisations face growing pressure to ensure accessibility across all digital content. This includes video, audio, PDFs, web platforms, and apps.
Yet most teams still lack a unified and scalable solution.
This partnership solves that challenge.
Funka will now offer Subly’s media accessibility platform directly to clients, strengthening their end-to-end accessibility offering with AI-driven media capabilities at scale. Just as importantly, Funka will continue to guide organisations in creating accessibility strategies at leadership level, ensuring accessibility is embedded across the entire business.
With Subly, organisations can:
- Automatically check and fix videos to meet WCAG 2.2 media accessibility requirements
- Accelerate remediation workflows with AI-driven tools and pre-configured WCAG rules
- Customise captions, transcripts, and audio descriptions for global accessibility and localisation
- Build confidence in EAA and WCAG compliance across media, websites, and digital platforms
We’re proud to be extending our offering with Subly. As the EAA becomes increasingly relevant, our clients need to ensure all digital content, not just websites, is accessible. Subly allows us to offer media accessibility at scale for the first time and helps our customers stay ahead of legislation while building more inclusive experiences. This partnership also supports our work with leadership teams to embed accessibility as a strategic priority, from innovation to implementation.
said Lennart Engelhardt, CEO of Funka.
