EPUB Accessibility Support

Accessibility for an EPUB publication goes a step beyond WCAG 2.0 compliance, requiring discovery metadata. Our Services verifies that EPUB publications 1) meet the requirements for Discoverable EPUB Publications, 2) meet the accessibility requirements for WCAG 2.0, meets the specific accessibility requirements for EPUB Publications defined in the current version of EPUB Requirements, and includes accessibility conformance metadata as defined in EPUB Conformance Reporting.

ALT-TEXT FOR ACCESSIBILITY

We have a team of Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) who identify and understand the key points of images, diagrams, and graphs and add Alt Text that exactly describes the purpose of the illustration.

PDFs typically are delivered to us with one of three starting points; untagged, improperly tagged, or an image only. No matter what state your documents are in — we can help you meet accessibility standards.
