    PDF Accessibility: Understanding the Basics<\/strong><\/a> — from boia.org<\/p>\n

    The Adobe PDF (Portable Document Format) is one of the most popular formats for online documents. Put simply, if you need to download a tax form or review a company brochure, you\u2019ll probably download a PDF to do so.<\/p>\n

    Unfortunately, many PDFs aren\u2019t accessible for users with disabilities. A 2023 report from the Department of Justice (DOJ) found that\u00a0only 20% of the government\u2019s most-downloaded PDFs\u00a0were conformant with federal accessibility standards. Private businesses also struggle to meet basic accessibility requirements.<\/p>\n

    The good news: If you think about accessibility when authoring your documents, you can provide a better experience for readers. Here\u2019s how to get started.<\/p>\n

    How AI will transform digital accessibility<\/strong> <\/a>— from ciodive.com by Phil Strain<\/p>\n

    What if a person with a visual impairment could receive audio assistance reading a map \u2014\u00a0and\u00a0detailed instructions on how to navigate their local railway system? Or what if they could use image-to-text technology to quickly discern what\u2019s in their fridge, along with recipe suggestions and a shopping list for their grocery delivery order?<\/p>\n

    AI-powered tools that do just that are now a reality thanks to\u00a0Danish startup\u00a0Be My Eyes, which uses the visual input capability of GPT-4 to create \u201cvirtual volunteers\u201d for people who are blind or vision-impaired. It\u2019s just one example of how advancements in AI are transforming the digital accessibility landscape.<\/p>\n
