Accessible Content That Meets Global Standards

We take ownership of accessibility across the publishing workflow, ensuring that content is compliant, consistent, and ready for global distribution.

Most Content Fails Basic Accessibility Checks

Most publishers believe their content is accessible. In reality, a large percentage of EPUBs and PDFs fail basic accessibility checks, from incorrect tagging and reading order to missing alt-text and poor semantic structure.

These issues are often only identified when content is audited, rejected by distribution platforms, or flagged during compliance reviews. With regulations such as the European Accessibility Act now in effect, accessibility directly impacts distribution, institutional adoption, and market access.

At Cameo, we don't approach accessibility as a final-stage fix. We build it into the production workflow from the start.

Compliance Across Formats and Regulations

We work with publishers to meet the accessibility standards that matter for their content and markets.

WCAG

WCAG 2.2 AAA

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines at the highest conformance level, ensuring perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust digital content for all users.

PDF/UA

PDF/UA

ISO 14289 standard for universally accessible PDFs with proper tagging, reading order, and assistive technology support.

EPUB

EPUB Accessibility

EPUB 3 accessibility specifications including semantic structure, navigation, and media overlays for inclusive reading experiences.

ADA

ADA & Section 508

Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 508 compliance for content used in educational, government, and institutional settings.

Accessibility Built Into Production

Our approach ensures accessibility is part of the workflow, not an afterthought bolted on at the end.

Accessibility Auditing

Comprehensive audits of existing EPUBs, PDFs, and HTML content against WCAG, PDF/UA, and EPUB accessibility standards. Detailed reports with prioritized remediation steps.

Remediation

Fixing non-compliant documents at scale. Correcting tagging structures, reading order, alt-text, semantic markup, and navigation to bring content into full compliance.

Accessible Production

Building accessibility into the production pipeline from the start. Structured XML, proper semantic tagging, and compliance validation at every stage of production.

Alt-Text & Descriptions

Writing meaningful alternative text for images, figures, charts, and equations. Ensuring visual content is accurately described for screen readers and assistive devices.

PDF Accessibility

PDF/UA compliance including proper tag structures, reading order, bookmarks, and metadata. Ensuring PDFs work seamlessly with assistive technologies.

EPUB Accessibility

EPUB 3 accessibility features including semantic navigation, media overlays, ARIA roles, and compatibility testing across reading systems and devices.

Accessibility Is No Longer Optional

With the European Accessibility Act now in effect and institutional buyers increasingly requiring compliance, accessibility directly affects your ability to distribute and sell content.

Getting it right means your content reaches more readers, meets procurement requirements, and avoids costly rejection or rework.

  • European Accessibility Act (EAA) compliance
  • US Section 508 and ADA requirements
  • Institutional procurement requirements
  • Distribution platform acceptance criteria
  • Broader readership and market access
  • Reduced rework and rejection costs
