Document accessibility for teams without in-house specialists
UnifyBoard™ remediates PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, forms, templates, and document libraries—so public and staff-facing files work for more people, not just look finished on screen.
When documents become the bottleneck
- Public PDFs fail basic structure checks—or pass a checker and still fail with a screen reader.
- Staff recreate the same inaccessible reports every quarter because templates were never fixed.
- Procurement or partner requests ask for accessible deliverables your team cannot produce confidently.
- Large archives mix scanned images, complex tables, and obsolete formats with no prioritization plan.
What we evaluate and remediate
Word styles, headings, lists, tables, alt text, and accessible export habits
PowerPoint titles, reading order, charts, and master layouts
Excel structure, named sheets, data tables, charts, and input guidance
Reusable templates and author guidance that reduce repeat barriers
Batch and library programs with inventory and prioritization
What good looks like
- Files clearer to navigate with assistive technology—and easier for authors to maintain
- A defined scope for each engagement instead of vague “make everything compliant” requests
- Deliverables and findings your team can hand to stakeholders, vendors, or internal reviewers
How document engagements usually run
-
Clarify file types and use
Public notice, internal policy, training deck, data workbook—purpose shapes remediation.
-
Sample and prioritize
We identify representative files and what must be fixed first.
-
Remediate structure and content
Semantics, reading order, alternatives, and forms—not cosmetics alone.
-
Validate and hand off
Tool evidence plus manual checks, with notes for prevention when useful.
Validation approach
Automated checkers are supporting evidence. We also review reading order, semantics, tables, forms, and—when appropriate—keyboard and screen-reader oriented behavior. We do not treat a green checker score as proof of accessibility.
Important notice
Accessibility requirements vary by organization, jurisdiction, content, and use case. UnifyBoard™ provides accessibility evaluation and remediation services, not legal advice or regulatory certification.
