A DAISY Consortium Initiative“RedShelf, an EdTech company working to make education more affordable and effective through digital content delivery, has been recognized by EPUBTEST.org as the first exclusively browser-based eReader to receive a 100% score in the non-visual reading category, reflecting RedShelf’s ongoing commitment to accessibility.”
Read the rest of the Red Shelf press release here. Our congratulations to all involved.
The accessibility of digital reading experiences has improved dramatically over recent years, but it is still incredibly difficult to identify a reading experience (app or hardware) which you know will work with the latest EPUB 3 publications, and with specific combinations of assistive technology to provide a fully accessible reading experience.
On EPUBtest, an initiative created by DAISY, IDPF and BISG, we are taking the guess work out of selecting a reading experience by applying a clear and consistent testing procedure to different reading solutions. This directly results in valuable feedback for developers, so they can identify where they might need to focus their efforts, as well as clear information for consumers and procurement specialists which allows informed purchasing decisions.
There are lots of different solutions and assistive technology combinations we would like to test, so we’re looking for your help.
If you are able to help with testing we have lots more information for you at the link below. We would also love your help in spreading the word, and inviting more people to learn more about the testing process.
Together we really can change the world!
