Due to the introduction of new accessibility legislation on 23 September 2020, we are now legally obliged to provide transcripts of all audio & audio visual content available on our websites. We have recently created a repository (see above) of our webinars on both Scottish Enterprise and Scottish Development International sites; those delivered since 23 September have automated transcripts which are generated by the webinar platform software, LogMeIn. Unfortunately, some audio does not transcribe with 100% accuracy due to tone of voice and speed of speech and we are working to resolve this. Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause in the short term.
