Document accessibility remediation
We remediate PDF, Word, PowerPoint, EPUB and HTML files so that people who use screen readers can follow every heading, table and equation. Math and science documents are our focus.
Files that meet WCAG 2.2 AA also meet the WCAG 2.1 AA level in the ADA Title II rule and the WCAG 2.0 AA level behind Section 508.
What we do
Send us the files and tell us the standard you work to. We handle the rest, page by page.
Equations, charts and diagrams need more than a quick tag. This is the work we focus on.
This formula is written in MathML, so a screen reader can read it and move through it term by term.
Tagged PDFs that assistive technology can follow from the first page to the last.
Heading styles, slide titles, reading order, alt text, tables and lists, fixed in the source file so that later exports start from a cleaner document.
Form fields with clear labels and tooltips, a sensible tab order and grouped choices, so a form can be completed with a keyboard or a screen reader.
A plain report on a file you already have: what we checked, what passed, what failed, and what needs a decision from your side.
Sample work
We wrote a two page physics handout and exported it twice: once untagged, the way many files reach us, and once remediated. On screen they look identical. Here is what a screen reader gets.
The range equation, read aloud after remediation
“R equals v sub 0 squared times sine of 2 theta, all over g.”
Who we help
White label work for when you have more files than hands. We follow your process and templates, and the finished files go back to you under your name.
Textbooks, journals and course materials in PDF and EPUB, with the math and figures handled with care.
Lecture notes, problem sets and research papers for disability services and digital accessibility teams facing the ADA Title II deadlines.
No charge, no commitment
Send 10 pages that are typical of your work. We sign your NDA first, remediate the pages and send them back with notes on anything that needs your decision. The files are deleted after delivery.
Process
Email the files, or a sample, with any checklist or style guide you follow.
A price and a delivery date, before any work begins.
Tags, reading order, math, alt text and whatever else the job needs.
PAC finds mechanical problems. NVDA finds what tools cannot judge.
Finished files, with notes on anything that needs your decision.
About
EulerDesk was started by a physics postgraduate who has taught math and physics for several years, in classrooms and online.
That background is why STEM files are our focus. Every equation, graph and table is handled by someone who understands the subject, not just the software.
FAQ
Per page, based on how complex the pages are. A page of plain text costs less than a page full of equations, tables or form fields. We look at your files first and send a fixed quote before any work begins.
PDF, Word, PowerPoint, EPUB and HTML. If you have the source file, send it too. Fixing the source usually gives a better PDF.
We check against WCAG 2.2 AA and PDF/UA, or against your own checklist. Every file goes through PAC for automated checks and a manual review with the NVDA screen reader.
We tag each equation as a formula and give it spoken alt text, which is what current PDF readers and screen readers support. In Word, EPUB and HTML we use MathML.
It depends on page count and complexity, and every quote states a date. Our working day falls during the US night, so files you send in the evening can be worked on before your next morning.
Yes. For agencies we work white label. We follow your templates and checklists, and the finished files go back to you under your name.
Files are used only for the job you sent them for, and they are deleted after delivery. We sign NDAs on request.
