Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Why should I invest in document remediation services?
Remediation ensures your documents are inclusive, compliant, and usable by people who rely on assistive technology. It helps meet legal obligations and improves user experience.
Which types of documents can be made accessible?
We remediate PDFs, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, InDesign files, and online forms.
How do you ensure compliance with accessibility standards?
We use WCAG 2.2 and PDF/UA guidelines, combined with automated tools and manual testing by experienced accessibility professionals.
Why is document remediation important for public sector websites?
Accessible document obligations now exist across much of Canada, with the firmest rules in Ontario and Manitoba. In Ontario, designated public sector organizations must meet WCAG 2.0 Level AA for web content, including posted documents, under the AODA’s Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation. In Manitoba, public sector organizations have been required to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA since May 2024, and private and non-profit organizations since May 2025, under the Accessible Information and Communication Standard. Federally regulated organizations carry planning and reporting obligations under the Accessible Canada Act, and the remaining provincial acts are phasing their standards in. Documents that residents use to access services are where these obligations bite first.
Do you offer document remediation for specific industries?
Yes. We serve governments, nonprofits, legal, insurance, finance, healthcare, education, and more.
How long does it take to remediate a document?
Timelines depend on file complexity and volume. Most single documents are remediated within 1–3 business days.
What is included in your document remediation process?
We handle tagging, reading order, structure, alt text, form fields, hyperlinks, contrast, layout, and final validation.
