How to convert documents into accessible formats with JamA11y

To get started, navigate to the JamA11y tab in the portal and select "Upload files".

Select the "Generate Accessible Formats" option. This converts your file to WCAG 2.2 Level AA-compliant HTML, great for documents with STEM content, complex layouts, or scanned and handwritten content:

Select "Remediate" to start generating your accessible formats. This can take a few minutes depending on the size of the document.

Once processing is complete, select "View" from the actions menu.

This opens the document editor to manually review and fine-tune your accessible formats. The editor includes standard text editing tools, alongside several dedicated remediation features.

Select "Show Original File" to view your original document side-by-side with the editor, making it easier to review the accessible versions of the document.

To add alt text to images, select an image and choose "Image options".

From the image options menu, you can write your description, or mark the image as decorative:

Image missing from your document? Select "Show Extracted Assets" to view and reinsert images and links that were present in the original PDF.

Click on an equation or formula, or select the "MathType" icon from the toolbar to open the MathType equation editor.

To review your document's accessibility against WCAG standards, select "Accessibility Checker".

After manual review, export your accessible document as HTML, DOCX, PDF, BRL (braille), EPUB, or MP3 (audio).
