Accessible Digital Publishing

The SeeWriteHear APT will accept content output from your workflow and automatically render the content in a browser in real-time. The APT includes built-in accessibility features, as well as compatibility with a whitelist of third-party assistive technologies. The APT is also compatible with W3C specifications and WCAG accessibility guidelines.

The APT is based on a precise set of accessible design principles.

• A blind person using the keyboard and a screen reader must have an equivalent experience to that of a sighted person.
• People with low motor abilities are supported by keyboard navigation because all alternative input devices, for example a head mouse, emulate a keyboard.
• People with hearing impairments are supported by captions, audio scripts, and in rare cases by an HTML equivalent.

Specific features of the SeeWriteHear Accessible HTML5 e-Book Publishing Template include:

1. Keyboard navigation, screen reader access, and alternative text including:
   • Keyboard functionality
   • Specific key functions
   • Navigation structure
   • Content hierarchy
   • Various supported screen readers
2. Text equivalents for art, photo, audio, and video providing:
   • Art and photo support – vision impaired
   • Audio support – hearing impaired
   • Video support – vision impaired
   • Video support – hearing impaired
3. Machine-readable Math expressions
   • Math expressions must be presented in a machine-readable format
4. A blind person using VoiceOver will have an equivalent experience
   • The iPad with VoiceOver active uses a gesture-based interface.
   • Gestures must be supported when VoiceOver is on.
