Free to start. No card needed.

WCAG asks for text alternatives and captioned time-based media. This generates the MP3 and SRT captions; conformance is your own assessment, not ours.

Step-by-step guide

How to Use WCAG Audio Compliance

Start for free — no credit card, no software to install.

  1. Identify what needs an audio alternative

    Decide which piece of content the standard in question is asking to have an audio or caption alternative available.
  2. Generate the audio and captions

    Paste or upload the text, choose a voice, and generate the MP3 with its SRT caption file.
  3. Assess the result against the standard

    Review the output as one part of the wider page or document, and make the conformance judgment as part of the full assessment.

Features & Capabilities

Everything you need to create professional voiceovers — in one tool.

  • MP3 and SRT together

    Every generation produces both the audio file and a caption file timed to the same words.
  • No certification claimed

    Nothing here states or implies conformance with WCAG, Section 508, EN 301 549 or any similar standard.
  • Full commercial-use rights

    Generated audio and captions carry commercial-use rights with no attribution required.
  • Works from short text or a whole document

    A single paragraph or a full document narrates the same way, with the same caption output.

Use cases

What Can You Create with WCAG Audio Compliance?

From TikTok to podcasts — here's where creators use this tool most.

  • Producing an audio version of written content

    Where a standard calls for an audio alternative to text, this generates the file itself; whether the surrounding page meets the standard is a separate question.
  • Adding captions to narrated audio

    An SRT file is generated alongside every audio file, useful input where a standard asks for captions on time-based media.
  • Testing an approach before an audit

    Generating a sample of narrated content lets a team see what audio-plus-captions looks like before committing to a wider accessibility programme.
  • Supporting an internal accessibility review

    An accessibility lead assembling evidence for a review can use the generated files as one component among several, alongside document structure and alt text.

About this tool

Everything you need to know about WCAG Audio Compliance

WCAG audio compliance is a question about a standard, and answering it is the customer's own assessment, not something a single tool can grant. The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines ask, among other things, for a text alternative to non-text content and for time-based media like audio to have an accompanying transcript or captions. This tool can generate the audio itself — an MP3 from text, an SRT caption file built from the same timing — as a single input into that picture. Whether a page, document or product actually conforms to a given WCAG level depends on the whole experience around that audio, and that judgment sits with whoever owns the audit.

FAQ

WCAG Audio Compliance — FAQ

Something not covered here? Contact us · support@vocallab.ai

Does using this make a page WCAG compliant?

No. It generates audio and captions from text; conformance is a property of the whole page or document, assessed by whoever owns that judgment.

What does WCAG actually ask for around audio?

Among other things, a text alternative for non-text content and a transcript or captions for time-based media — the guidelines describe the requirement, not how to produce it.

Do you offer a compliance certificate?

No, there's no certification of any kind here; conformance to WCAG, Section 508 or EN 301 549 is the customer's own assessment, not a claim this tool can make.

Are the captions accurate enough for an audit?

The SRT file is built from the same word-level timing as the speech engine itself, but whether it satisfies a given audit is a judgment for whoever runs that audit.
