<p><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><span style="color:black">You may be struggling with questions such as:</span></span></span></p>
<ul>
<li style="margin-left:8px"><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><span style="color:black">Which automated tool should I use? </span></span></span></li>
<li style="margin-left:8px"><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><span style="color:black">How much manual testing is needed?</span></span></span></li>

</ul>

<h2><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 20pt;"><span style="color:black">It’s Worth the Effort</span></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color:black">Accessibility simplifies and improves interactions with blind customers, employees, and employers. Accessible documents are useful to more than blind users. Most of the features added to increase accessibility also make projects easier to use for a wide variety of people.</span></span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color:black">Keyboard users</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color:black">Those with small screen devices</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color:black">Dictation software users</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color:black">People using automated tools to gather information on documents, webpages, and other media.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color:black">Some accessibility features can make a project easier to migrate to other platforms or formats.</span></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color:black">Creating accessible documents can be simple and powerful for anybody to incorporate into their workflow. Accessibility boutiques and seminars are workshops presented by our access technology experts that provide introductions to accessibility best practices and the latest trends in access tech.</span></span></p>
