E-text Transcription
Our E-text transcription services
E-text documents are fully accessible digital documents created for print-disabled people. This format enables the documents to be read out loud, magnified or produced on a refreshable Braille display by using specialist adaptive software. Both visually-impaired and sighted people can access them using a computer, smartphone, tablet or other digital devices.
As transcription specialists, A2i’s E-text solutions are designed to carefully follow the requirements of visually impaired individuals, and are delivered in various formats such as Accessible PDFs or Word documents. These can incorporate your organisation’s branding style and are compatible with the broadest range of adaptive software possible, such as JAWS, BrowseAloud and Adobe’s ‘Read Out Loud’ tool.
Our e-text translations comply with UK, US and EU standards, including Section 508 & WCAG 2.1 AA.

Producing accessible PDFs
We offer 2 options :
1. We adapt your existing PDF
We use your existing document and add full audio functionality. The visual design remains unchanged, so adding audio will make it partly accessible.
2. We create a fully accessible PDF
We transcribe your document, adapt the fonts, colours and layout, and add full audio functionality to create a fully accessible version, which can be used with the full range of adaptive software. We integrate your corporate styling within accessibility rules to ensure your accessible PDF is in line with your branding as closely as possible. This is the best option in terms of accessibility.
