Logical Structure

Proper use of built-in Word styles creates a logical reading order. Screen reader users rely on headings to quickly scan and understand the document's structure.

Essential for navigation

The Gateway to PDF

Fixing accessibility at the source is faster and cheaper. A perfectly structured Word document can be exported directly into a fully tagged, compliant PDF.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Word Document Accessibility?

It's the process of structuring a Microsoft Word document using proper headings, alt text for images, accessible tables, and logical reading order so assistive technologies can navigate it.

How much does remediation cost?

It's generally priced per page and depends on document complexity. Simple text costs less than complex documents filled with data tables and charts.

Can you convert an accessible Word doc to PDF?

Yes! Building an accessible Word document is the foundation of an accessible PDF. We can export it as a fully compliant, tagged PDF.

Do you provide bulk remediation?

Yes. We offer bulk document remediation services for organizations with large libraries of legacy Word documents and forms.

Why not just use Word's built-in Checker?

While helpful, it cannot verify reading order, check the logical flow of headings, or determine if alt-text is actually meaningful. Manual remediation is required.

How long does remediation take?

Turnaround depends on volume. Simple documents take 1-2 days. Complex documents take 3-5 days. Bulk projects are scoped individually.
