BMI Imaging Systems’ Innovative Accessibility on Demand™
BMI Imaging Systems, Inc., a frontrunner in secure digitization and digital preservation solutions, recently introduced its latest software, Accessibility on Demand™ (AoD). This groundbreaking service addresses the growing need for organizations to ensure their documents meet stringent accessibility standards. With a focus on automating compliance, AoD is set to revolutionize the way government entities, educational institutions, and various organizations manage their digital content.
A Game-Changer in Digital Accessibility
Accessible documentation is no longer optional; it is a requirement across numerous sectors. Organizations must comply with regulations such as WCAG 2.1 AA, Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and PDF/UA standards. BMI's AoD offers a fast and efficient way to transform static and legacy documents—regardless of their origin, including those from microfilm, paper, or scanned images—into fully accessible documents in mere seconds.
According to Will Whitney, CEO of BMI Imaging Systems, “Accessibility shouldn't be complicated or burdensome. With Accessibility on Demand™, we're giving our clients a modern, efficient way to meet accessibility requirements and serve every member of their community.” This statement encapsulates the essence of AoD, promoting a simplified approach to compliance while ensuring accuracy.
Advanced Technology to the Rescue
Leveraging advanced document intelligence, the Accessibility on Demand™ service features a wide array of automated capabilities:
- - AI-driven document analysis: It accurately understands the structure, reading order, tables, lists, and the overall layout of documents.
- - Automated tagging and metadata enhancement: This helps generate WCAG-ready outputs, making content easily navigable.
- - Searchable PDF conversion: Enhancing access and further improving readability for end-users.
- - Alt text generation: Automatic contextual and custom text options, ensuring visual content is described appropriately.
- - Audit-ready validation: Providing validation scores aligned with established accessibility standards.
These features work in unison to facilitate a seamless integration into BMI's existing digitization workflows, thereby delivering thorough end-to-end solutions to clients.
