Abiding by accessibility standards is a guarantee we offer: our content needs to be accessible to everyone.
Key takeaways
An accessible video includes title, captions and a transcript. These elements are mandatory.
An audio file includes a title and a transcript, and both are delivered on our accessible media player.
If an image is essential for understanding the webpage's content, provide a text alternative ("alt text") to describe it.
This helps people with vision impairments using screen readers and also improves search ranking.
If possible, don't use images where the text is part of the image. This can make it difficult for people with vision impairments to understand.
If you cannot avoid images of text, it's best to provide an exact text alternative.
Complex infographics and charts require a more detailed description than is possible in the alt text.
Providing a long description directly on the webpage is a good way to do this.
Accessibility starts with the structure of your Office document before converting it to a PDF.
Use tags to add structural information, helping impaired users navigate the content. For example, mark headings to assist blind users using screen readers.
