Warning
titleQuality of the original document is very important

Not all documents can successfully be made accessible. A great deal depends on the quality of the original document. Even if Acrobat successfully translates an image of text to text, it is very important to review the document. Original documents of poor quality, documents that have a lot of notes or underlines, and documents with blurred text may result in inaccurate translations and gibberish. If you find this to be the case, please contact accessibility@swarthmore.edu for assistance in working with your file.


More Information

The Moodle PDF Accessibility Check is a very useful tool to help determine how much of your course material is friendly to assistive technology such as Read & Write, Kurzweil, screen readers, and various other tools people might use to help them consume course readings.

We have a short video on the ITS blog space which explains how to access the block and there is another page in the Moodle knowledge base, Moodle PDF Accessibility Check, which goes into even more detail about what you will find on the block as well as suggestions of how to improve your scan results.

If you'd like to learn more about accessibility, check out these posts on the ITS blog.
