Need for Accessible PowerPoint Presentations

PowerPoint Accessibility is ensuring that any recipient of your presentation can perceive and understand the information it contains. Your audience and users may include individuals with auditory, visual, and cognitive disabilities.

A PowerPoint presenter needs a presentation, which is accessible to the entire audience so that the audience can completely engage and learn from the content. Acadecraft specializes in accessibility remediation of documents including PowerPoint presentations of various sectors for meeting compliance standards like the ADA, Section 508, WCAG, PDF U/A, and more.

We not only ensure the accessibility of text, and visual components but also the multimedia content of your presentations. Those with visual impairment or hearing difficulty need assistive technology to comprehend your presentation. It is important to ensure different components of the presentations are made accessible, checking reading order, alt text, title formation, tagging of PDFs, and captioning and transcription of the multimedia components. Captions can help everyone, even those who are in noisy environments as they go through your presentations.

To make your presentation maximally accessible, it is important to present it in a different format that allows your slideshow to be accessible on the whole. Additionally, purely decorative visual, animation-based, or audiovisual content may not require an alternative format description.

PowerPoint Presentation Remediation for Accessibility

PowerPoint Presentation Remediation for Accessibility

At Acadecraft, we create accessible PowerPoint presentations by following industry best practices for document remediation ensuring compliance with section 508 for creating inclusive and accessible documents. We include accessible slide designs, font format, size, color, and alternative text with all visuals. Furthermore, our PowerPoint accessibility experts ensure slide contents have the intended reading order, meaningful and accurate hyperlink text, and ScreenTips. 

With our comprehensive check, we review and fix PPTs to make them inclusive and accessible for all. Our team checks that each slide has a unique title, and that optimized tables have specific column header information. Slides must have sans serif fonts, a larger font size (18pt or larger), and sufficient white space. We also create a tagged PDF as an alternative format of the presentation for enhanced accessibility for people with a vision or hearing disability.

Fast & Scalable PowerPoint Presentation Accessibility Services

At Acadecraft, we provide PowerPoint accessibility remediation following guidelines of Section 508 and WCAG standards. PowerPoints have sizable visual information, which is not limited to images or text; it can be through colors, font size, or animations for conveying information. This should also be given in a non-visual format like a written description. It is important to include this for those with vision impairment and individuals with cognitive or processing disorders like dyslexia. We ensure that meaningful visual content gets provided, either textually or audibly, accessible for people with impaired vision taking care of all elements of the PowerPoint presentation. We understand your deadlines so we are dedicated to fast and quick delivery of your accessible PPT documents.

Template Selection

We ensure the usage of an accessible template of PowerPoint with readable fonts and appropriate color contrast between text and the slide background.

Template Selection
Structuring Basic Content

Structuring Basic Content

Our experts identify, review, and fix the structuring of the slideshow logically. We check for slides for unique, meaningful titles and relevant numbering where applicable. The content on each slide should have the correct reading order, all text should be in a readable font (plain text) and sized and with ample white space.  

Meaningful content should have sufficient color contrast and list buttons should be used to create lists. Hyperlink text should be informative and meaningful and describe the destination in place of generic text like “Click here”. HTML web page navigation should indicate the file type. We take care to correct these factors besides adding meaningful alt text to informative images while others are marked as decorative. So that screen readers know what to ignore. We also make a point to ensure that we insert long descriptions for complex graphics or use offscreen content placeholders where appropriate.

Specialized Content

Tables

Tables require special attention for accessibility optimization. We add table columns and/or row headers wherever needed. “Header Row” must be optimized if header cells describe the columns below them.

Animations

For informative Animations, it is necessary to give descriptions in a written form. We optimize and check graphs, which should be given in a table with a textual description of the graph’s shape and layout (on- or off-screen).

Captioning for Multimedia

We also provide caption files for videos and multimedia content within your PowerPoint.

Notes

Additionally, we include a text description of the video’s visual content wherever needed for screen reader users. We use offscreen content placeholders to place text in Notes.

Embedded Narration

We check if the narrator describes the visual content correctly in the audible form like in a normal presentation. We also formulate an annotated transcript for the narration comprising all spoken content and note that simultaneously with the appearance of each slide or animation.
