How to fill out documentation in accessible formats

How to fill out documentation in accessible formats:

1. Begin by ensuring that the text is written in a clear and concise manner. Use plain language and avoid jargon or technical terms that may be difficult for some people to understand.
2. Structure the document using headings, subheadings, and bullet points to make it easier for readers to navigate and comprehend the information. This helps individuals with cognitive disabilities or those using screen readers to quickly locate specific sections.
3. Use a font and font size that is easy to read. Sans-serif fonts such as Arial or Calibri are recommended, and a font size of at least 12 points is preferable. Avoid using fancy or decorative fonts that may be difficult to decipher.
4. Ensure that there is sufficient contrast between the text and background colors. High contrast makes it easier for individuals with visual impairments to read the document. Use dark text on a light background or vice versa.
5. Provide alternative text descriptions for images, charts, and graphs. This allows people with visual impairments who use screen readers to understand the visual content. The alt-text should be concise yet descriptive of the image.
6. Include captions or transcripts for videos and audio files. This benefits individuals with hearing impairments who rely on text captions or transcripts to access the content. Make sure the captions or transcripts accurately reflect the spoken information or dialogue.
7. Ensure that hyperlinks are clearly labeled and descriptive. Instead of using generic phrases like "click here," use descriptive text that indicates where the link leads. This helps individuals with visual impairments or navigation difficulties understand the purpose of the link.
8. Consider providing the document in multiple accessible formats, such as PDF, HTML, or plain text. This gives individuals the flexibility to choose the format that works best for their specific needs or assistive technologies.
9. Regularly review and update the document to ensure ongoing accessibility. As technology and best practices evolve, it's important to stay current and make any necessary adjustments to maintain accessibility.
