Join us in celebration of Global Accessibility Awareness Day!
To make this year special, we’re hosting three virtual events. Attend one, two, or all three!
Event details below.
Webinar #1
Understanding DOJ Web Accessibility Guidance
The Legal Community’s Interpretation and Advice
Date: Thursday, May 19, 2022
Time: 1:00 p.m – 1:30 p.m. EDT
In March of 2022, the Department of Justice released guidance on web accessibility and the ADA – Americans with Disabilities Act, describing how local and state governments and businesses can ensure that their websites are accessible to people with disabilities.
However, like anything related to the legal world, the guidance still has room for further clarification. Though the DOJ has taken a significant, positive step forward by removing much of the confusion about how ADA requirements apply to online resources, it doesn’t mean its crystal clear for everyone. If you are still unclear about what the guidance means for you, you are not alone—we’re here to help.
To help clarify the recent DOJ Web Accessibility Guidance, Accesible360’s founder and renowned industry expert Michele Landis will moderate a panel of defense and plaintiff attorneys to discuss the reasoning, potential impacts of the guidance, and the path to achieving ongoing compliance.
Webinar #2
Solving Equitable Access for Education
New technology that enables the creation of real-time, fully-accessible educational resources
Date: Thursday, May 19, 2022
Time: 2:30 – 3:30 p.m EDT
Equitable access to educational assets is imperative to a student’s success. That’s why education professionals must work to provide timely, high-quality instructional materials in accessible formats to guarantee that success. However, for many, producing accessible documents can present a trade-off between speed and quality—unable to ensure that communications are actually fully accessible for those that need them.
The good news is that struggle is over. In this 60-minute webinar, T-Base’s Education Specialists will demonstrate our newly introduced FASTtrack Online—the easy-to-use, subscription-based Document Remediation Platform that combines high-level automation with guided user input to effectively and affordably transcribe your documents.
Attendees will be guided through functionality that enables:
- Accessible PDF — The accessible format that contains document information, including semantic structure, enabling people to easily navigate and read electronic content using screen readers, screen magnifiers, and joysticks.
- Reflowed Large Print (Accessible Word) — Multifunctional accessible format, enabling users to print large print documents from Word files or experience it as a digital format with improved on-screen readability and enhanced audio experience (via text-to-speech tools).
- E-text — Containing extracted text from the source document with audio directives enabling text-to-speech tools to process this file for users to create an audio version of the document.
Webinar #3
Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Accessibility Compliance
Using deep neural learning AI to achieve large scale document accessibility
Date: Thursday, May 19, 2022
Time: 4:00 p.m – 5:00 p.m EDT
It’s one thing to ensure that a single document within a corporate infrastructure is made accessible. However, when thousands of PDF files require remediation to meet accessibility requirements, this has been an unachievable burden—at least until now.
In this 60-minute webinar, CommonLook’s technical team will demonstrate new technology that leverages artificial neural network layers to learn the nuances of accessibility tagging resulting in highly accurate, automated document remediation.
