If you have a document you cannot read because of a disability, we will make it accessible for you. This service is free.
This is for students with print disabilities. That includes blindness, low vision, learning disabilities such as dyslexia, and intellectual disabilities. If you use a screen reader, magnifier, or other assistive tool to read, this service is for you.

Yes. There is no cost to students. The Accessible Documents Initiative is a non-profit initiative. There is no charge, no hidden fees, and no conditions.
We support Hindi and many other Indian languages. Our tools can process documents in over 100 languages. If your language is not supported, we will tell you honestly rather than deliver poor quality.
We handle equations. Each equation gets a plain-language description (what screen readers read aloud) and MathML markup (for braille displays). For the best experience with maths, request the HTML format. It uses MathJax, which works well with screen readers.
Yes. We work with universities to process documents at scale, train their staff, and set up their own accessibility pipelines. Learn about university partnerships.
