WHAT DO BUSINESSES NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ADA COMPLIANCE, 508 REMEDIATION, AND ACCESSIBILITY?
508 Document Remediation
What is Section 508 document remediation?
Section 508 document remediation is the process of making digital documents accessible to people with disabilities. This includes improving PDFs, Word files, Excel files, and PowerPoint presentations so they work better with screen readers, keyboard navigation, and other assistive technology.
What types of documents can Splash Box remediate?
Splash Box remediates PDF, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files. We also support large document libraries and high-volume projects for organizations that need accessible content across many file types.
Can Splash Box remediate documents in multiple languages?
Yes. Splash Box supports document remediation in 22 languages. Our highest-demand languages are English and Spanish, but we can support multilingual accessibility projects based on your needs.
How do you make a PDF 508 compliant?
Making a PDF 508 compliant usually includes reviewing reading order, heading structure, alt text, table formatting, link clarity, color contrast, form fields, and document tags. The goal is to make the document understandable and usable for people using assistive technology.
How do I know if my document is accessible?
An accessible document should be structured clearly and work well with assistive technology. Common checks include document tags, heading levels, table structure, image descriptions, reading order, and keyboard usability. A formal accessibility review can identify issues and recommended fixes.
Do you offer rush 508 remediation services?
Yes. Rush services may be available when timelines can be met. Rush fees may apply depending on the project size, complexity, and deadline.
Website Accessibility
Does Splash Box offer website accessibility audits?
Yes. Splash Box offers website compliance reviews to identify accessibility issues related to HTML, Section 508, and WCAG requirements. These reviews help organizations understand where barriers may exist and what improvements are needed.
What is included in a website accessibility review?
A website accessibility review typically looks at issues such as heading structure, image alt text, keyboard access, color contrast, form usability, link clarity, and other barriers that may affect users with disabilities.
What is the difference between ADA, Section 508, and WCAG?
ADA is a civil rights law that affects accessibility obligations more broadly. Section 508 applies to federal agencies and organizations working with federal requirements. WCAG is a technical standard used to evaluate and improve digital accessibility for websites and documents.
Alt Text and Accessible Content
What is alt text and why is it important?
Alt text is a short description of an image that helps people using screen readers understand visual content. Good alt text improves accessibility by communicating the purpose or meaning of an image when the image cannot be seen.
Can Splash Box help with alt text for complex visuals?
Yes. Splash Box can support alt text for photos, graphics, charts, and other visual content. For complex visuals, the best approach may include concise alt text plus additional surrounding text that explains the full meaning.
Process and Pricing
How much does 508 remediation cost?
Pricing for 508 remediation usually depends on the number of pages, file type, complexity, and turnaround time. The best way to get accurate pricing is to request a quote based on your specific documents and project scope.
How long does 508 remediation take?
Turnaround time depends on project size, complexity, and workflow requirements. Each project is evaluated individually so the timeline matches the scope and deadline needs.
