Our services encompass a wide array of accessibility remediation services for publishers, tailored for both print and digital materials.
What is A11y-NIMAS Master?
A11y-NIMAS Master is a service designed to help academic publishers and educational content providers convert their materials into the NIMAS (National Instructional Materials Accessibility Standard) format. This format ensures that content is accessible to students with disabilities, allowing for conversion into braille, large print, audio, or digital text.
What is NIMAS, and why is it important?
NIMAS is a standard set by the U.S. Department of Education to ensure that instructional materials are accessible to students with disabilities. It facilitates the production of specialized formats, such as braille, text-to-speech, and other assistive formats, ensuring that educational content is accessible to all learners.
How does the conversion process work?
You simply provide us with your source content (typically in standard digital formats like Word, PDF, or HTML), and our team will convert it into NIMAS-compliant XML. The NIMAS format allows for seamless adaptation into various assistive technologies such as braille displays or text-to-speech software.
Who benefits from A11y-NIMAS Master services?
Our services benefit academic publishers, educational institutions, and accessibility advocates who need to provide materials in accessible formats. Ultimately, it ensures that students with visual, auditory, or cognitive disabilities can access the same educational content as their peers.
