Address the Barriers to Document Accessibility

Documents can leave people out when their structure, format, or presentation makes essential information difficult to access, navigate, or understand.

  • PDFs Without Accessible Structure

    PDFs without proper tagging, structure, or reading order can make document content difficult to navigate for people who use screen readers.

  • Documents Without Audio Access

    Contracts, forms, reports, and other digital documents can be difficult to access when important information is available only through visual text.

  • Documents Without Sign Language Access

    PDF documents without sign language support can limit access to important information for people who communicate primarily through sign language.

  • Printed Copies of Digital Documents

    Contracts, forms, and statements are often handed out on paper, where digital accessibility features no longer reach the reader.

Build digital experiences everyone can use.
