AccessibilityNow® WeCo
Easily Generate Accessible Microsoft Word and Corresponding PDF
Product Overview
The user-friendly, wizard-driven tool does not require extensive knowledge of document accessibility, advanced proficiency in Word, or specialized skills. WeCo serves as a Microsoft Word plugin that is quick, efficient, and easy to use for Word remediation. By utilizing WeCo, the manual process of creating an accessible Word document, and its corresponding accessible PDF, can be significantly reduced in terms of time and effort, while ensuring complete precision and adherence to document accessibility standards.
Benefits
Ensure compliance with leading accessibility standards
Organizational policy, enabling quick and easy enterprise-wide deployment
Avoid litigation by ensuring documents are accessible prior to distribution
Plug and Play – simple and intuitive, wizard-driven process
Does not require deep knowledge of Microsoft Word or accessibility standards
The easy to use, GUI based remediation and quality assurance tool provides a quick and successful road to achieving document compliance.
WeCo document accessibility reduces turnaround time from hours to minutes, significantly reducing costs for remediation.
Same platform as Microsoft Word, easy to use and easy to understand
Cut compliance costs
One of the biggest advantages of using WeCo is that after only a short training session, users can immediately start generating accessible Word documents, and corresponding accessible PDFs. It is convenient and easy to use, which exponentially reduces the amount of time and money needed for Word remediation when using the native Word functions, a process that does not automatically generate accessible PDFs.
Business Challenge
With over 1.2 billion Microsoft Office users in the world, organizations are being faced with the need for making Word documents accessible. This means putting a plan in place for training users on becoming Word remediation experts, as well as document accessibility experts, or having a dedicated team for remediating documents they did not author, all of which can be challenging.
Becoming proficient in advanced Microsoft Word functions and document accessibility can take weeks of training, and it does not guarantee all users will become experts.
As more accessibility regulations become mandatory across North America and Europe, making Word documents and the corresponding PDFs compliant is increasingly important. Organizations are in need of solutions that make inclusivity by design easier, cost effective and sustainable.
