1
00:00:05,420 --> 00:00:11,170
Equidox AI is a fully automated solution for
high-volume PDF accessibility.

2
00:00:11,170 --> 00:00:14,980
Federal mandates require organizations to
address digital accessibility.

3
00:00:14,980 --> 00:00:20,610
PDF accessibility is an often overlooked part
of those initiatives.

4
00:00:20,610 --> 00:00:25,460
Manual remediation for thousands of PDFs is
inefficient and impractical.

5
00:00:25,460 --> 00:00:31,130
It is labor intensive, expensive to outsource,
and requires staff with accessibility skills

6
00:00:31,130 --> 00:00:35,660
who can make errors, all while facing challenging
deadlines to complete the work.

7
00:00:35,660 --> 00:00:40,820
Equidox developers, data scientists, and PDF
accessibility experts collaborated to build

8
00:00:40,820 --> 00:00:45,180
a solution for these issues called Equidox
AI.

9
00:00:45,180 --> 00:00:52,360
Equidox AI is a fully automated PDF remediation
solution for high volumes of templated documents.

10
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:58,870
This includes system-generated PDFs that have
similar layouts and structures such as Physicians'

11
00:00:58,870 --> 00:01:07,030
Directories, policy documents, statements,
digital ID cards, explanations of benefits,

12
00:01:07,030 --> 00:01:10,690
and other templated PDFs that are produced
en masse.

13
00:01:10,690 --> 00:01:16,180
Equidox AI is designed to fully automate the
remediation of these types of documents, eliminating

14
00:01:16,180 --> 00:01:18,970
the need for human remediators.

15
00:01:18,970 --> 00:01:22,740
Equidox AI can be deployed on Prem or in the
cloud.

16
00:01:22,740 --> 00:01:28,790
The technology can be integrated into an existing
document creation workflow via an API, operated

17
00:01:28,790 --> 00:01:35,610
on demand through the user interface, or handled
by Equidox staff as a managed service.

18
00:01:35,610 --> 00:01:41,479
To remediate a batch of PDFs using Equidox
AI, simply upload your documents either individually

19
00:01:41,479 --> 00:01:46,670
in .zip folders or using our API, which would
seamlessly integrate into a document creation

20
00:01:46,670 --> 00:01:48,250
workflow.

21
00:01:48,250 --> 00:01:53,860
In this small-scale demonstration, we're using
a .zip file with 20 sample bank statements,

22
00:01:53,860 --> 00:01:57,280
and running the batch through our Equidox
AI interface.

23
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:02,110
With the .zip file uploaded, I will select
the correct ML model to apply to the PDFs

24
00:02:02,110 --> 00:02:06,189
and click “Run Batch.”

25
00:02:06,189 --> 00:02:11,050
The interface shows the number of documents
uploaded, the time elapsed, the status of

26
00:02:11,050 --> 00:02:14,590
the remediation, and the completion of each
document.

27
00:02:14,590 --> 00:02:22,470
As you can see the documents are already in
process and some are finished in mere seconds.

28
00:02:22,470 --> 00:02:26,530
While Equidox AI is running, let's take a
quick look at what the tag tree looks like

29
00:02:26,530 --> 00:02:29,630
before remediation.

30
00:02:29,630 --> 00:02:33,819
As you can see, there are no tags in this
document at all, and it will not provide any

31
00:02:33,819 --> 00:02:36,660
information to an assistive technology user.

32
00:02:36,660 --> 00:02:40,550
A screen reader would report “empty document.”

33
00:02:40,550 --> 00:02:44,450
Many people with disabilities couldn't read
this document because their assisted technology

34
00:02:44,450 --> 00:02:50,360
relies on digital tags to communicate with
their screen reader or Braille display.

35
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:55,819
Returning to Equidox AI, this sample batch
of 20 documents was remediated in 84 seconds–less

36
00:02:55,819 --> 00:02:58,300
than a minute and a half.

37
00:02:58,300 --> 00:03:03,880
With increased processing power, Equidox AI
can be scaled and sped up to remediate hundreds,

38
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,640
thousands, or millions of pages.

39
00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:11,010
The remediated documents can be downloaded
by the user or delivered to its destination

40
00:03:11,010 --> 00:03:13,500
directly through our API.

41
00:03:13,500 --> 00:03:22,750
Now, if we look at the tag tree on the remediated
document, it clearly has tags.

42
00:03:22,750 --> 00:03:30,300
These accurately reflect the text, headings,
and images with alt text.

43
00:03:30,300 --> 00:03:32,580
Even the tables have been tagged.

44
00:03:32,580 --> 00:03:35,540
And the reading order is correct as well.

45
00:03:35,540 --> 00:03:40,189
Not only will this remediated document pass
an automated checker but it will pass a manual

46
00:03:40,189 --> 00:03:44,189
review using a screen reader as well.

47
00:03:44,189 --> 00:03:48,849
Now that you've seen Equidox AI in action,
imagine how this cutting-edge technology will

48
00:03:48,849 --> 00:03:53,000
streamline the remediation process for your
organization.

49
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,409

solutions.
