We have successfully pushed an update to all YuJa SmartSpeaker instances residing in the US, Canada, Australia, Singapore, the Middle East, and the European Union. This update includes expanded Canvas New Quizzes support for read-aloud functionality and automatic AI tool disabling during quiz-taking across all major LMS platforms to maintain assessment integrity while preserving accessibility features.

2. Auto-Disable AI Tools During Quizzes to Maintain Assessment Integrity

   SmartSpeaker will automatically disable AI features like summarization and translation when students are taking quizzes across all major LMS platforms. This setting ensures assessment security by preventing students from using AI tools that could provide unfair advantages during exams while maintaining read-aloud functionality for accessibility.

   

We’re pushing an update to all YuJa Structural Remediation Max Module instances residing in the United States, Canada, European Union, and Australia. Over the next few weeks, key updates you’ll see will include the introduction of comprehensive tag management capabilities that enable manual PDF tag manipulation without external software and new administrator controls to restrict module access by user and role for strategic credit management.

1. Advanced Tag Management Tools Provide Complete PDF Structure Control

   Structural Remediation Max will now support comprehensive tag manipulation, allowing users to create complex document structures without external software. These advanced tagging capabilities provide the granular control needed to ensure PDFs meet full accessibility compliance standards.

   • Manually Add New Tags: Users will be able to manually add new tags within Structural Remediation Max, enabling the creation of complex accessibility structures like lists from scratch. When newly added tags cover multiple existing tags completely, they’ll automatically merge into the new tag, creating cleaner document structures.

   • Split Single Tags into Multiple Elements: Complex text blocks can now be broken down into multiple separate tags, allowing users to create proper heading hierarchies and list structures.

   • Retag Entire Document Zones with Advanced Zone Detection: The new Zone Detector will allow users to select and retag entire sections of a document, automatically generating appropriate tag structures for complex layouts.

   • Faster Re-tagging Performance for Previously Tagged PDFs: Re-tagging operations on documents that already contain accessibility tags will process significantly faster, reducing wait times when making structural adjustments.

2. Ability to Restrict Access by User and Role

   Administrators will now be able to control which users and roles can access Structural Remediation, helping institutions strategically manage credit use.

   

This release enhances the PowerPoint integration experience with streamlined workflows and improved presenter controls and introduces automated monthly usage reports that deliver key platform insights directly to administrators via email.

1. Enhanced PowerPoint and Keynote Integration Streamlines Presentation Workflows

   Both PowerPoint and Keynote plugins deliver significant workflow improvements and enhanced user control:

   • Improved UI Experience: Expanded from simple question title slides to full-width screenshot slides that capture complete question and activity details.

     

   • New Workflow Option: In addition to inserting individual question slides, users can now insert all questions into a single slide. The Release button then publishes all questions at once for streamlined activity management.

     

   • Presentation Page Redesign: Enhanced the in-presentation experience to match the web application’s design style, providing a consistent and modern interface.

     

   • Controlled Question Sharing: Previously, questions were shared automatically when presenting slides. Now, presenters have full control to decide when to share or stop sharing questions and activities.

     

   Additional PowerPoint Plugins updates include:

   • Enhanced User Guide: Added tutorial videos and intuitive visuals to make installation and updates easier to follow.

     

   • Refined Menu Design: Updated menu icons to align with the company design system, and removed ribbon menus to minimize confusion and create a cleaner interface.

     

2. Monthly Usage Reports Will Be Automatically Emailed to Platform Administrators

   Administrators will receive automated monthly email reports highlighting platform usage and trends. Emails will provide administrators with at-a-glance insights into platform performance and user engagement.

   

We’re rolling out new updates across YuJa AutoPilot AI Remediation Max, including the ability to request a trial, run the module across multiple courses at once, and to customize user roles.

1. Request a Trial of YuJa AutoPilot AI Remediation

   Administrators can now request a trial of YuJa AutoPilot AI Remediation in the Accessibility Products Marketplace. Explore how to reduce document remediation time by up to 95 percent and remediate documents in bulk to optimize your remediation efforts.

   

2. Run YuJa AutoPilot Across Multiple Courses at Once

   Users will be able to run the YuJa AutoPilot AI Remediation Module across multiple courses at once, with full filtering capabilities to target specific document types or issues. This streamlined approach enables institutions to efficiently remediate large volumes of content while maintaining precise control over what gets processed.

   

3. Ability to Restrict AutoPilot by User Role

   Administrators will now have control over access, allowing them to limit usage to specific users or roles, such as instructional designers, giving them the ability to optimize credit use while maintaining oversight of automated remediation. Administrators can also set permissions at the role level and create user-level overrides for more flexible access management.
