A system for delivering accessibility enhanced content includes a computer server having processing hardware and a memory storing a software code. The processing hardware is configured to execute the software code to deliver, to a user system, accessibility enhanced content comprising primary content and an accessibility track synchronized to the primary content, the accessibility track including at least one of a sign language performance, or one or more video tokens each expressing one or more words. When the accessibility track includes the sign language performance, the sign language performance is delivered contemporaneously with delivery of the primary content. When the accessibility track includes the one or more video tokens, the one or more video tokens are played back when the primary content reaches a location corresponding to each of the one or more video tokens.

Accessibility enhanced content delivery

A user system for rendering accessibility enhanced content includes processing hardware, a display, and a memory storing software code. The processing hardware executes the software code to receive primary content from a content distributor and determine whether the primary content is accessibility enhanced content including an accessibility track. When the primary content omits the accessibility track, the processing hardware executes the software code to perform a visual analysis, an audio analysis, or both, of the primary content, generate, based on the visual analysis and/or the audio analysis, the accessibility track to include at least one of a sign language performance or one or more video tokens configured to be played back during playback of the primary content, and synchronize the accessibility track to the primary content. The processing hardware also executes the software code to render, using the display, the primary content or the accessibility enhanced content.
