  1. AltText The future of easy and independent accessible content publishing Kathleen Asjes, Dedicon, Amsterdam E-Accessibility forum – Paris, April 2010

  2. Accessible content Dedicon aims to: • Raise awareness among content providers about content adaptation • Enable content providers to deliver content in a way that suits the needs of the information receiver • Develop an online service that converts written text into several accessible formats

  3. AltText Content Braille Audio Large Print Conversion portal

  4. 4 steps to accessible documents Content providers can make their information accessible in four simple steps: • Upload the document. • Correct the document according to a checklist. • Select the accessible format of choice (Braille, large print or audio). • Order the accessible document or send it directly.

  5. Accessible structures With a strong focus on creating awareness among content providers, the altText project aims to change the traditional information processing chain. The main focus in the project lies on applying ‘accessible structures’ to content. Structured information is the first big step towards high-quality accessible information. By structuring content more clearly, powerful new navigational possibilities emerge which are of benefit to all users, not only the visually impaired.
