How can typesetters, publishers and content creators be required to create accessible publications if they don’t have the tools to make them? There is hope… No-code Accessibility for InDesign at Digital Publishing Summit 2023 on June 20th. #eprdctn https://t.co/trlkXtiqto

Circular Software is a proud partner of Design + Accessibility Summit. See you there?

📢 Exciting news! The #Publishing Accessibility Action Group website has launched! Check it out: https://t.co/XjYTWwVOM3 If you attended our #WednesdayWisdom Q&A session with PAAG Chair Stacy last month (or even if you didn't!), you'll definitely want to take a look.

The ability to check that a file is ready for accessible export, whilst still in InDesign is a great benefit. ❌ InDesign offers no accessibility checks. 🟢 Circular Software has multiple checklists that reports and flags accessibility issues in InDesign. https://t.co/UcM4KcIlIi

Position images into text flow in InDesign to appear at the relevant place in reflowable EPUB. ❌ There is no way to check if images are anchored into text 🟢 Circular Software checks and flags any images that are not anchored for reflowable ebooks https://t.co/vowqGhLHQ5

Section markers and landmarks identify and navigate major parts of an EPUB. ❌ InDesign offers no way to add section markers and landmarks. 🟢 Circular Software tools add visual section markers and landmarks to InDesign pages which are then added to your EPUB. #InDesignBetter

After export EPUBs should be checked for validation against the EPUB standard and for accessibility issues. ❌ InDesign offers no method of validation. 🟢 Circular Software connects with epubcheck for validation and runs ACE A11y report on EPUBs. https://t.co/UcM4KcZoKi

Many publishers do not use InDesign’s generated Table of Contents. ❌ InDesign requires user to make a complex uneditbale internal table of contents. 🟢 Circular Software users adds an editable accessible multi level contents page in their ebooks. #InDesignBetter

Descriptions of images and figures should be added so their meaning can be delivered as text, braille or voice. ❌ InDesign alt text is applied individually in an grey dialog box 🟢 Circular Software visually prepares images for descriptions in bulk https://t.co/vowqGi3R4d

The level and ordering of headings is an important feature in ebook structure. ❌ InDesign offers no way to view or check applied heading hierarchy. 🟢 Circular Software visually labels heading tags then checks and flags when hierarchy out of sequence. https://t.co/vowqGi3R4d

‘ARIA roles’, the modern method used to indicate the meaning of content, are widely used on the web and are recommend within EPUB. ❌ InDesign offers no way to add ARIA roles. 🟢 Circular Software automatically adds useful ARIA roles to every EPUB. https://t.co/vowqGhLHQ5

The reading order of InDesign bears no relation to position of objects on the page or styling used. ❌ InDesign Articles panel means users must manually add and reorder content. 🟢 Circular Software adds visual and editable reading order markers. https://t.co/vowqGhLHQ5
