AccessDocs

ADA Title II · WCAG 2.1 AA · PDF/UA

Every document you publish, accessible by law and by default.

Turn agendas, minutes, notices and reports into tagged, validated PDF/UA files — with a compliance report for counsel and a corrected Word file so the next one is born accessible.

Find out where you stand

We crawl public pages only (respecting robots.txt), list every PDF and Office file, and score each one. Takes a few minutes; nothing is stored except document addresses and scores.

Public pages only. Results open in your browser when the crawl finishes.

Workflow

How it works

Built for the clerk who posts every week — not a backlog project that takes months.

  1. Upload

    A PDF or Word file, or paste its web address. We pick up structure, language and reading order.

  2. Minutes later

    A tagged PDF/UA file, an accessible Word source, and a compliance report — headings, lists, tables and images tagged.

  3. Review two things

    Image descriptions and any heading we were unsure about. Approve, and files are re-validated with veraPDF.

Simple pricing

For the board

What you can tell counsel

Honest, verifiable output — no compliance-guarantee theatre.

  • Every delivered PDF is validated against PDF/UA-1 with veraPDF; the validator's name, version and raw result are in every report.
  • Your documents are never used to train models. Model calls use zero-retention endpoints; you can disable them entirely.
  • Files are deleted after your chosen retention period (default 30 days); the report and score history remain.
  • This application itself meets WCAG 2.1 AA: server-rendered, keyboard operable, tested with axe-core.
