Intelligent System for Accessible Content Creation by Design
摘要
Enterprises produce a broad range of digital documents, such as bank statements, pay slips, e-books/bills & others which transformed the way consumers engage with brands but a section of the world population with print disabilities is still deprived of such digital facilities because they are mostly inaccessible. There are diverse ways in which documents are created by enterprises like - via text editor, raw content coming from Database or CMS. In all scenarios, enterprises take a reactive approach to implement accessibility postproduction, which is not right and practical because it’s a laborious and manual task, which requires specialized training, high cost & effort. In this paper, we are presenting our solution approach of ‘Inclusive Content by DESIGN’, where we are building a core AI technology capable of processing raw and unstructured content derived from traditional document formats like PDF, Text, HTML, or from enterprise databases or Content Management Systems. Our technology identifies accessibility gaps at element level e.g., headings, images etc. and at page and document level, introduce accessibility fixes based on noncompliance and later publish diverse accessible formats like accessible PDF, EPUB3, DAISY text/audio and E braille. It will envisage the enterprise system to take care of end-to-end process from content generation to content production with ‘Machine First’ approach and to disseminate in inclusive formats. Our vision is to bring a holistic approach of solving all types of document accessibility in one platform by disseminating the right content at right time at enterprise level by integrating accessibility at root.
