Document Accessibility Remediation
At EMBRACE 2 Learn Inc., we understand that accessible documents are essential as we continue in the digital world. Whether it’s PDFs, Word files, slide decks, or fillable forms, inaccessible documents can exclude people with disabilities from accessing critical information..
Did you know that over 75% of PDFs (according to PDF Association 2021) and digital documents are inaccessible to people who rely on screen readers and assistive technology? Many organizations unknowingly create barriers that prevent users from accessing critical information. At EMBRACE 2 Learn Inc., we provide document accessibility remediation, ensuring that your documents, forms, and presentations are fully inclusive and meet compliance standards such as PDF/UA, WCAG 2.1 AA, and AODA, 2005 while remaining visually engaging and brand-consistent.
Whether you’re in education, healthcare, government, non-profit, or the private sector, accessible documents are essential for reaching a wider audience and demonstrating your commitment to inclusion for people with disabilities.
Document Remediation Improve Business Operations
Inaccessible documents lead to information exclusion for millions of users worldwide (Adobe Accessibility Report, 2020). They don’t just exclude users—they also put organizations at legal and reputational risk. Many PDFs are just scanned images, making them unreadable for people with visual impairments, while poor structure and formatting can create challenges for individuals with cognitive or motor disabilities. Organizations are increasingly recognizing that making documents accessible to everyone delivers benefits that extend beyond mere regulatory compliance. Accessible documents offer numerous advantages. A few examples are:
- Faster Compliance with Accessible Standards. Businesses that take a proactive approach to accessibility avoid lawsuits and establish themselves as responsible market leaders.
- Enhanced Document Usability for All Users. Companies that make accessibility a priority showcase their steadfast dedication to inclusivity and equality. This builds trust with customers, partners, and communities.
- Boosting SEO and Digital Reach through Accessible PDFs. Accessible PDFs rank higher in search results and bring more traffic to digital platforms including your website. The content reaches wider audiences, including people with disabilities. Improved searchability leads to more engagement and potential conversions, which drives business success.
Our expert remediation services transform your digital documents into user-friendly, navigable, and legally compliant resources—without compromising design or functionality.
How We Help
Our hands-on remediation process ensures that your documents are:
Screen-reader friendly with properly tagged headings and text. Navigable with correct reading order and logical structure. Accessible for all users, including those with motor, cognitive, or visual disabilities. Compliant with legal standards to help you avoid accessibility-related lawsuits.
Although artificial intelligence and accessibility testing technology has come a long way, the best practice is to combine its efficiency with human knowledge. We have a User Accessibility Group which consist of individuals with a variety of different visible and/or invisible disabilities that play a key role in testing to help ensure your documents are accessible.
What if your customer is in need of or requests accessible information? This could mean reading something out loud, being compatible with assistive technology, offering large print, or explaining things differently. We’ll help you ensure your company is prepared and also create a plan to respond to accessibility requests quickly and easily. With our support, your team will be ready to share information in ways that work for everyone—keeping your business documents and/or marketing materials accessible and compliant.
