Writing and translation tools for accessible communication

Accessibility has become increasingly important since the adoption of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in 2008 and its ongoing implementation into national law.

At the same time, scientific interest in communicative barriers and how to avoid them was awakened, which has led to increasing requirements regarding the quality of accessible communication offers. This is where writing and translation tools come into play.
