Access Player and 3Play Plugin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Access Player is 3Play Media\u2019s new, fully accessible media player that integrates with your existing media player of choice to add enhanced accessibility capabilities.
 
The Access Player allows the user to search and interact with a time-synced transcript and listen to an Audio Description track. In addition, it provides SEO benefits, making your content more discoverable \u2013 so you can reach and connect with your audience to the fullest extent possible.
 
The 3Play Plugin is still available as we continue to build out functionality of the Access Player. If you\u2019re looking for extended audio description support on content that is visually complex, the 3Play Plugin integrates with your player and intelligently pauses the source video content until the description is complete before resuming play.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
