Text and Reading Order
Equidox features a Smart Zone Detector that automatically identifies text, images, and links.
Simply adjust the slider to give yourself a great starting point for remediating your document.
You can quickly reset the reading order with the “Re-Order” button, and insert elements into the reading order using a decimal system so you don’t have to renumber every element.
Lists
Equidox’s AI List Detector reduces list remediation to a few clicks.
Even nested lists are done in seconds.
Adjust the slider to create an accessible list and check your work in the HTML preview.
Tables
The Equidox AI Table Detector uses machine learning to detect rows and columns.
Adjust the column and row detectors, set your headings, check for any spanned cells, and you’re done.
Equidox even auto-populates the table summary with row and column headings and any spanned cells.
Forms
Equidox simplifies form remediation!
Just type in your tooltips and double-check your work in the Form Preview.
No more multi-step tag creation in a complex and lengthy tag tree.
Equidox inserts the tags for you on export.
Images
Writing alt text has never been easier.
Either write your descriptions on each page or add them all in one place in the Image Pane.
Collaborate with subject matter experts to provide complex alt text descriptions in a single location.
You can also artifact unnecessary decorative images quickly and easily.
Headings
Use the Equidox keyboard shortcuts to set your headings with a keystroke.
Output warnings will notify you of logical heading structure errors.
Zone Transfer
The Equidox Zone Transfer feature allows you to copy tags from one nearly identical document to another, saving time and effort remediating. Adjust as needed to accommodate minor variations.
Great for meeting minutes, repetitive recurring reports, documents that have been updated, or materials with copies in multiple languages.

"Adobe was a nightmare. It took so long to do the remediation – it wasn’t user-friendly. The Commonlook plug-in tool was cost-prohibitive for our needs. Staff loves using Equidox as a solution to make documents ADA compliant. It’s so much faster than Adobe. Equidox training was great, and it was very easy to learn. We were able to start fixing our documents in-house right away. When we need it, the support is responsive – not canned responses, but a real person helping us. Our return on investment was recouped very quickly. Equidox is well worth the money."
