Accessibility Assistant

Have you ever thought about
making your documents accessible?

There is no doubt that all people should have access to your website. If you want to reach that goal, the first step is to ensure that your online documents are accessible for people with visual impairments.

When making your online documents accessible, you create a happier life and better workdays for more people. Web accessibility is the right thing to do. Not just morally, but also legally.

In some countries, web accessibility is a legal requirement. Since 2018, The European Web Accessibility Directive has aimed to give people with lowered vision better access to public services, websites and mobile applications. The directive imposes several requirements on online documents, and for many companies this results in a more resource-intensive process when creating PDF files for their website. Among other things, the visually impaired must be able to access files and have them read aloud using a screen reader.

“Web accessibility will help a large group of people participate more actively in society.”

In short, this means that web accessibility provides equal access and equal opportunities.”

Our passion is to make every workday work better

Accessibility Assistant ensures that you can be confident that your online documents are accessible to the visually impaired as the directive prescribes. You can continue to work as you know in both PowerPoint and Word. The accessibility solutions allow all users to create accessible PDF/UA files, optimizing accessibility directly in the document. Among other things, certain types of information are moved to the right places and image texts are optimized.

The final document is PDF/UA compliant (Universal Accessibility) and made accessible to the screen reader.

How it works

Accessibility Assistant enables you to work in the documents you know and create accessible PDF/UA files from both Word and PowerPoint

01
Optimize your templates
02
Fix everything in the task pane
03
Export your accessible PDF/UA
04
Publish and create happiness

Even though it doesn’t require anything specific from your document or presentation templates to create an accessible PDF/UA, the templates should preferably follow best practice guidelines.

Our solution opens as a task pane in Word or PowerPoint and enables you to work with accessibility directly in your document. What’s unique about Accessibility Assistant is that you do all optimization directly in the task pane.
Solutions are suggested and fixed in the task pane with one single click. Step-by-step, our solution guides you through the document to optimize text, title, images, links, charts and tables and so on.
You click the check marks, and all problems are solved one by one.

When you’ve been assisted through the document, you’re all done and ready to export the PDF. As a matter of course (with our tool, not with our competitors’) this is done as a finishing step directly in the task pane. Accessibility Assistant makes sure that the last details are in place, and – if all checks completed – your final PDF/UA file is now 100% accessible.

Ensure that your online documents are PDF/UA compliant
