Aware Lens

The DOJ ADA Title II rule requires WCAG 2.1 AA for public web content, including meeting video: April 26, 2027 for entities serving 50,000 or more, and April 26, 2028 for everyone else.

Accessibility (included in every plan)

- Accurate captions tuned to your officials, places and civic vocabulary

- Full, synced, searchable transcript for every meeting

- Audio description, including AI narration of slides, charts and documents

- Accessible video player and hosting

- Live captions for livestreamed meetings, from the encoder you already use

Meeting workflow (optional modules)

- Agenda: learns the format you already publish, with immutable postings and addenda instead of edits

- Vote: attendance, motions and roll call captured at the clerk's seat and shown on the chamber display

- Minutes: drafted from the transcript in your format and checked sentence by sentence

- Comment: residents comment on the agenda or sign up for public comment, straight into the clerk's console

- Languages: the whole meeting page in eight languages, with names and figures protected

- Documents: every document OCR'd and searchable to the exact page

The Plus edition adds AI meeting summaries, document search and plain-language explanations for residents.

Who it's for: towns, cities, counties, school districts, public colleges, commissions and state agencies that publish meeting video.

Pricing: annual pricing depends on how many meetings you publish each year and the modules you choose. Use "Request a private offer" for a quote with 3- or 5-year terms. Onboarding is handled by the Aware team.
