Voiceover transcript
This PDF fails accessibility checks — and the compliance deadline is real. Here’s how to fix it in about a minute.
Sign in with Google, LinkedIn, or an email magic link, then drag your PDF onto the dashboard — or browse, upload a folder, or paste a URL.
It converts automatically — analyzing every page and repairing accessibility issues against WCAG 2.1 AA — and scores the result.
Open the finished file to get your accessible HTML with a WCAG AA badge, a tagged PDF, and a conformance report you can hand to procurement as proof.
Compare puts the original and the accessible version side by side. The new version has real headings, alt text, and reading order — so it works with a keyboard and a screen reader.
Need a tweak? Edit the HTML visually or in code. A few seconds after you stop typing, it re-checks for free and saves a version you can roll back to.
Share a public link, publish it to your site or LMS, or connect a storage bucket to remediate PDFs automatically at volume.
Your first ten pages are free. Try it on a real document today.
Accuracy notes
- Sign-in is an email magic link (or Google / LinkedIn / password) — not a typed code. Keep VO in sync with the shipped flow.
- Standard rate is $1/page, less at volume; first 10 pages free. Do not say “30 cents”.
- Outputs shown must match the current asset set: Accessible HTML (WCAG AA badge), tagged PDF (when available), conformance report, original.
