Product Updates

Over the next few weeks, YuJa AutoPilot will be improving its accessibility engine to increase the number of issues it can remediate and simplify the process of repairing scanned PDFs.

1. YuJa AutoPilot Now Provides Support for 20 New Accessibility Issues

   YuJa AutoPilot now provides automated remediation for new accessibility issues in DOCX, PPTX, PDF, HTML, and XLSX documents. New issues that AutoPilot can resolve in these document types include: missing document titles, incorrectly set document language, undescriptive hyperlink text, and missing table captions. For a full list of accessibility issues that can be addressed with YuJa AutoPilot, please refer to Panorama’s Accessibility Checklist, which will be updated as new support is released.

   

2. Simultaneously Resolve Multiple Accessibility Issues in Scanned PDFs with One Click

   The process for remediating accessibility issues in scanned documents is now streamlined so users can resolve multiple issues with just one click. While the platform is repairing a scanned, untagged, or malformed PDF, it will also simultaneously resolve any other YuJa AutoPilot-supported accessibility issues that are found after the document has been repaired. This streamlined process reduces the effort required to make documents fully accessible while saving valuable time for users.

   

Over the next few weeks, YuJa AutoPilot will be adding a new feature that provides AI summaries of Panorama’s Reports.

1. New AutoPilot AI Summaries Can Instantly Parse Report Data for Historical Trends and Possible Recommendations

   All users of YuJa AutoPilot will now find an AI Summary tab in all of Panorama’s Reports. AutoPilot’s AI Summary translates historical data into an outline of Observed Trends and possible Recommended Areas for Action. For users who find themselves spending longer than desired trying to understand the graphs and tables in Reports, these new AI Summaries will simplify the process of analyzing historical data by providing a clear and succinct description of Observed Trends. Using the report data, the AI Summary tab will also generate Recommended Areas for Action, and Guidance & Recommended Actions where possible, to help instantly improve course and institution accessibility.

   

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.

   

We have successfully pushed an update to all YuJa AutoPilot AI Platform instances residing in the US, Canada, Australia, Singapore, the Middle East, and the European Union. This update includes enhanced AI-powered alternative text generation using advanced GenAI technology.

1. Introducing Enhanced AI-Powered Alternative Text Generation

   AutoPilot now uses advanced GenAI technology for generating alternative text descriptions, providing more accurate and contextually relevant image descriptions. This enhancement improves both the “Suggest Alternative Text” feature in the WYSIWYG editor and AutoPilot’s automatic remediation capabilities, ensuring more precise accessibility solutions for images across all supported document formats.

   

We have successfully pushed an update to all YuJa AutoPilot AI Platform instances residing in the US, Canada, Australia, Singapore, the Middle East, and the European Union. This update includes the option to re-run AutoPilot to address newly flagged issues and revert changes from AutoPilot’s course scans.

1. Ability to Re-Run AutoPilot to Address Newly Flagged Issues

   You can now run AutoPilot multiple times on your files to ensure that any subsequent issues discovered can be resolved automatically instead of fixing them yourself. This is particularly useful when dealing with an untagged document, as AutoPilot may reveal underlying issues after tagging that would otherwise require manual intervention.

   

2. Revert Changes from AutoPilot’s Course Scans

   After successfully remediating an entire course using AutoPilot, you will now be given the option to revert all accessibility changes if desired.
