I would be grateful to hear from community members regarding how fast/slow they find using BB Ally in Canvas - and what they would consider to be acceptable processing times.
For example, I have just copied a course (comprising approx 50 pages, 50 images and 1 assignment) in Canvas. It took around an hour for BB Ally to complete its analysis of all assets in the duplicate course. During that time, there were no BB Ally "gauges" visible either on the page or in the Files area indicating accessibility statuses.
Likewise, when adding an asset (e.g. an image file) it can take 10 minutes or more for BB Ally to "kick in".
This time lag makes taking action on accessibility inefficient and prone to be overlooked because you literally can't get in to BB Ally to add alt-text or mark as decorative.
How does this compare to other people's experiences?

I haven't used Ally enough but need to start doing so more often, I find the results vary in speed. Somedays I upload a PDF or series of PDFs and I get results in seconds, sometimes it's 30 minutes later so I'd love a gauge as well. I do see there may be some speed delays on 2/8 FYI.
Since I have quite a few questions about Ally but haven't started to research them, I did check their user group recently, I just realized though I'm signed up for their user group, my e-mail notifications were off so I missed a few events along the way. I didn't realize they had notices about release notes and occasional events and feedback opportunities so might be worth signing up for - https://usergroup.ally.ac/dashboard
