Alex Zaltsman

Alex Zaltsman is founder of AwareNow, Inc., maker of Aware Lens — a platform that turns local-government and school-board meeting video into a WCAG 2.1 AA public record (accurate captions, audio description, transcript, plain-language summaries). He works with clerks, city managers, and ADA coordinators on the DOJ’s 2024 Title II web rule (compliance dates April 26, 2027 for entities serving 50,000+, April 26, 2028 for smaller entities and special districts). He focuses on time-based media: why YouTube auto-captions fail WCAG 1.2.2 on posted meeting files, and how audio description (1.2.5) applies to screen-shared budgets and slides. Educational commentary; not legal advice. ADA.gov is the source of record.
