PowerPoint Accessibility is ensuring that any recipient of your presentation can perceive
and understand the information it contains. Your audience and users may include
individuals with auditory, visual, and cognitive disabilities.
A PowerPoint presenter needs a presentation which is accessible to the entire audience
so that the audience can completely engage and learn from the content. Acadecraft
specializes in accessibility remediation of documents including PowerPoint presentations
of various sectors for meeting compliance standards like the ADA, Section 508, WCAG, PDF
U/A, and more.
We not only ensure the accessibility of text and visual components, but also the
multimedia content of your presentations. Those with visual impairment or hearing
difficulty need assistive technology to comprehend your presentation. It is important to
ensure different components of the presentations are made accessible, checking reading
order, alt text, title formation, tagging of PDFs, and captioning and transcription of
the multimedia components. Captions can help everyone, even those who are in noisy
environments, as they go through your presentations.
To make your presentation maximally accessible, it is important to present
it in a
different format that allows your slideshow to be accessible on the whole. Additionally,
purely decorative visual, animation-based, or audiovisual content may not require an
alternative format description.
