Digital Documents Accessibility

Ensure your documents are readable, compliant, and inclusive.
Hever Translations offers expert digital document accessibility services that meet legal standards and enhance user experience for everyone.

We know your language. We know your culture. We know you.

Making digital documents accessible is an important step for any organization that wishes to provide full accessibility and comply with legal requirements, while reaching a wide and diverse audience equitably and respectfully. At Hever Translations, we help ensure that your digital documents are accessible, standardized and welcoming - to everyone.

Accessibility of digital documents is a legal requirement pursuant to Standard 5568 Part 2, but also helps to broaden the target audience, improve the user experience, and reflect genuine commitment to equality of opportunity.

We specialize in both ensuring the accessibility of original document files (such as Word, PowerPoint, Excel) and adapting existing documents, including complex PDF files, so that screen readers can read them correctly.

Which documents should be accessible?

Almost every document intended for distribution to the general public or to employees of the organization should be made accessible. For example:

  • Online forms that need filling out (such as registration forms, inquiries).
  • Financial statements or annual reports for the public.
  • Contracts and legal documents.
  • Manuals and instructions for employees or customers.
  • Marketing or training presentations.
  • Leaflets and marketing information uploaded to a website or sent by email.

Lack of accessibility is a breach of the Law of Equal Rights for People with Disabilities, and could lead to lawsuits and fines amounting to tens of thousands of ILS. Apart from the legal issues, documents that are not accessible damage an organization’s reputation and prevent customers from accessing services.

Our team of experts at Hever Translations works with you throughout the process: from understanding the requirements, making adaptations, to ensuring your documents are fully compliant - quickly and professionally.

The Digital Documents Accessibility service includes:

  • Correct construction of accessible documents (in Word, PowerPoint, Excel) right from the production stage.
  • Configuring the document’s language to support assistive technologies.
  • Making existing PDF documents, including scanned documents, professionally accessible.
  • Adding a standard hierarchy of headings to any document.
  • Creating a clear and legible reading order for screen readers – particularly for PDF files.
  • Adding alternative descriptions (alt text) for pictures and graphic elements.
  • Arranging tables to enable correct reading.
  • Adding text layers to scanned documents.
  • Adapting documents to IS 5568 Part 2

Ready to make your documents accessible and compliant? Let us help you get started today.
