Accessible publishing creates a better experience for all consumers.
Around 15% of the global population has a permanent disability, including approximately 285 million people with a visual impairment and an estimated 700 million people with dyslexia, the most common form of learning disability.
Publishing content that is accessible to all your potential readers makes good sense for a variety of reasons – ethical, legal and commercial.
The most important reason to publish accessible content is to help create an inclusive society for people with visual, auditory, physical, or cognitive disabilities. Accessibility is fast becoming a global standard as regulatory agencies and governments around the world introduce treaties and legislation to ensure equal access to information for all, and accessible publishing makes good commercial sense too.
Automation has helped numerous organizations produce accessible publications with minimal additional cost and effort.
Build accessibility right into your publishing workflows.
Providing accessible content need not be expensive or time consuming. Using built-in XML-based structural tagging, Automation enables you to automatically generate output in a wide range of accessible formats – all from the same source content you use for ‘standard’ publishing. These formats include:
- PDF/UA (PDF/Universal Accessibility) - a PDF specifically optimised for accessibility.
- DAISY (Digital Accessible Information SYstems) - an XML-based e-book format optimised for use with DAISY reading software.
- EPUB - a standard XML-based e-book format that can be read and manipulated on mobiles, tablets, desktops and e-readers.
- HTML and XML - can be used with accessibility software such as Text To Speech (TTS) and Braille conversion programs.
PrAutomation also supports the automatic production of content utilising best practices in accessible design, such as large print (14pt+), clear and open fonts with minimal styling and decoration, good contrast, and appropriate use of white space.
By publishing accessible content with Automation, you can achieve automatic compliance with accessibility legislation in your region – including the European Disability Act, the Disability Discrimination Act (UK and Australia), and Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act (US) – and with accessibility standards such as the World Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 and ISO 14289-1:2014 PDF/UA (Universal Accessibility).
