As I take on the role of a teacher, I am beginning to realise just how much of our documents aren’t accessible. The university is pushing us to make everything accessible without a sensible pathway, but I’m going to try my best and make sure my students can access my documents without hindrance.
Currently I am trying to make my PDFs UA2 compatible using LaTeX. I also want to make sure my documents are colour blind friendly. A colour-blind simulator software would be great.
Is there like an “accessibility” suite one can self host to pass documents to check for various accessibility parameters?
I have been doing ADA compliance professionally for a while. There is no magic on this one. There’s no existing solution that doesn’t require manual interference because it requires context. Human context. It has to be understood to be understandable. There’s a few things you can do to improve overall accessibility but nothing in a suite. I specialize in InDesign and it’s probably the most powerful document solution going. But it requires a lot of work to meet the most basic of requirements.
