00:00:00,540 --> 00:00:02,950
Female Speaker: Equidox by Onix.

2
00:00:02,950 --> 00:00:07,460
Accessible PDF conversion.
Reach everyone.

3
00:00:10,190 --> 00:00:13,480
Dan Tuleta: I’m Dan Tuleta,
account manager for Equidox.

4
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:17,200
Today's market is digital;
we do our shopping, banking,

5
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,740
learning, and information
gathering online.

6
00:00:20,740 --> 00:00:22,840
Female Speaker: One of the most
common online documents

7
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:24,220
are PDFs.

8
00:00:24,220 --> 00:00:26,480
But these are not
always accessible to people

9
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,800
using assistive technology
such as screen readers.

10
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:31,280
Every business and organization

11
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,750
wants to maximize their audience
and target market;

12
00:00:34,750 --> 00:00:37,050
they need to reach everyone
including people

13
00:00:37,050 --> 00:00:40,060
with print disabilities
who use screen readers.

14
00:00:40,060 --> 00:00:44,640
It's required by law, but it's
also best business practice.

15
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,440
Dan Tuleta: Equidox
is a web-based software tool

16
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,670
that converts inaccessible PDFs
into accessible documents

17
00:00:50,670 --> 00:00:53,830
that can be understood
by assistive technology.

18
00:00:53,830 --> 00:00:55,980
It's really fast, very easy,

19
00:00:55,980 --> 00:00:58,650
and you can learn the basics
in under an hour.

20
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,120
Female Speaker: Here is a sample
PDF document

21
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,070
containing many of the most
commonly occurring elements.

22
00:01:04,070 --> 00:01:06,900
All of these elements need
to be properly identified,

23
00:01:06,900 --> 00:01:09,500
or tagged, in order
for a screen reader

24
00:01:09,500 --> 00:01:12,140
to understand
the content being presented.

25
00:01:12,140 --> 00:01:14,550
There are headers
that enable screen readers

26
00:01:14,550 --> 00:01:18,300
to navigate the page without
reading every single word.

27
00:01:18,970 --> 00:01:23,720
There are several images,
a list, and a table.

28
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:25,680
A tool that is most
commonly associated

29
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,490
with PDF documents
is Adobe Acrobat.

30
00:01:28,490 --> 00:01:31,790
But remediating PDFs using Adobe
to make them compliant

31
00:01:31,790 --> 00:01:34,160
with web content
accessibility guidelines

32
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,320
is a slow
and painstaking process.

33
00:01:37,320 --> 00:01:39,610
Take a look at what is required
to manually remediate

34
00:01:39,610 --> 00:01:42,540
this simple document
using Adobe.

35
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,670
Remediating elements
such as tables can be laborious.

36
00:01:51,010 --> 00:01:54,640
This remediation is playing
at 30 times speed.

37
00:01:57,310 --> 00:01:59,220
Using Adobe
for manual remediation

38
00:01:59,220 --> 00:02:03,050
involves manipulation
of a complex tag tree.

39
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,860
This remediation has taken
more than 15 minutes.

40
00:02:12,050 --> 00:02:15,430
Now, watch the same remediation
with Equidox

41
00:02:15,430 --> 00:02:17,220
using the Sensitivity slider.

42
00:02:17,220 --> 00:02:20,740
All elements on the page
are automatically detected.

43
00:02:21,690 --> 00:02:24,410
Elements such as headers
are easily tagged.

44
00:02:24,410 --> 00:02:27,220
There are keyboard shortcuts
for the most common functions

45
00:02:27,220 --> 00:02:29,360
such as pressing H1
for titles,

46
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,070
H2 and H3
for subsequent header levels.

47
00:02:33,070 --> 00:02:36,780
Using alt text
for images is easy.

48
00:02:36,780 --> 00:02:46,310
[music]

49
00:02:46,310 --> 00:02:50,090
Lists can be auto-detected
in three simple steps.

50
00:02:54,069 --> 00:02:56,030
For tables, select the table

51
00:02:56,030 --> 00:02:58,910
and choose the Equidox
table editor.

52
00:02:59,580 --> 00:03:00,840
Equidox will automatically

53
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,620
divide the table contents
into rows and columns

54
00:03:03,620 --> 00:03:06,340
which a screen reader
can understand.

55
00:03:07,210 --> 00:03:10,910
A preview shows
the table rendered in HTML.

56
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,920
Elements can be quickly
reordered in one step

57
00:03:16,920 --> 00:03:19,150
or you can do this manually.

58
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,300
And we preview
the remediated document,

59
00:03:22,300 --> 00:03:25,350
we see that the reading order
has been set correctly,

60
00:03:25,350 --> 00:03:26,980
the headers are indicated,

61
00:03:26,980 --> 00:03:29,240
the list and table elements
are correct,

62
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,260
and alt text
is properly combined

63
00:03:31,260 --> 00:03:33,880
and rendered
for a screen reader.

64
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,800
Equidox documents
are previewed in HTML

65
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,620
which means web
accessibility checkers

66
00:03:38,620 --> 00:03:40,630
can be used
to validate your documents.

67
00:03:40,630 --> 00:03:43,560
This entire document,
with all its various elements,

68
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,870
has been completed by
an experienced remediator

69
00:03:45,870 --> 00:03:48,230
in approximately
one minute.

70
00:03:48,820 --> 00:03:51,250
Dan Tuleta: Using Equidox
can save you so much time,

71
00:03:51,250 --> 00:03:55,060
so much money, and frees up your
employees to do other tasks.

72
00:03:55,060 --> 00:03:57,640
Converting your documents
into accessible formats

73
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,570
allows you to be compliant
with legal digital requirements

74
00:04:00,570 --> 00:04:03,320
and reach everyone
in your target audience.

75
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,410
Equidox is the right tool
to help you do that.
