Redefining Accessible Publishing

Gone are the days of accessibility being just a niche technical requirement. It is a growing expectation from readers, educators, and institutions across the digital publishing world, as far more people are impacted by accessibility issues than many publishers realize. Whether someone has a visual impairment, a learning difference, or simply prefers to zoom in on text or listen to a book while doing something else, it transforms the need for accessible books from being for just a few, to everyone. However, complying with standards is not always easy: EPUB structure, metadata, image descriptions, and discoverability can overwhelm book production without the right tools and guidance.

This webinar, hosted by De Marque will focus on:

• Why accessibility is a publishing-wide issue that affects millions of readers
• What compliance actually looks like in practice, from structure to metadata
• How to manage image descriptions more efficiently and collaboratively
• What De Marque has learned over five years of building accessible systems
