Document Accessibility

Our team is ready to help make certain that your digital content is accessible to users of all abilities.  Different file formats pose unique accessibility challenges and we can partner with you from creation to publication to ensure that the final product is accessible to everyone.

Document formats we can help ensure are accessible:

  • PDF
  • Microsoft Word
  • Microsoft PowerPoint
  • Microsoft Excel
  • EPUB
  • Structuring InDesign documents to create accessible PDFs

We Can Help:

  1. Evaluate – is your document currently accessible to people with disabilities? Does it meet established accessibility standards?
  2. Remediate – if your document is not fully accessible, let our experienced team make it fully compliant.
  3. Consult & Train – are you overwhelmed by the acronyms and technical details of document accessibility? We offer a variety of trainings that can be customized to your needs.

1. Document Evaluation

Access Ingenuity’s diverse network of accessibility specialists, assistive technology users, and professional consultants will evaluate your document based on WCAG 2.0/2.1, Section 508, PDF/UA, and EPUB 3 guidelines.

Following a specialized checklist that we have designed in-house following years of accessibility testing experience, we will:

  • Run automated checks;
  • Perform manual testing by carefully inspecting the document’s properties, PDF tags, reading order, links, and color contrast;
  • Utilize screen readers such as JAWS and/or NVDA;
  • Present our findings in a detailed report that includes suggestions for fixing any accessibility barriers we have discovered.
