[Hidden-tech] 508 compliance

[Annamarie Pluhar]

Hi Don, 

It's not my area of expertise but I do know that making docs 508 compliant means tagging them so that an automatic reader (I think a common one is called JAWS) can parse what is on the page. It's usually about tagging pictures and such. I've heard of this for websites and PDF - not so much for PPT and Word.

They have been told by the Feds to make it compliant under section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act for people with disabilities. They are looking for someone with experience to explain what is needed and probably to make the change as well. If anyone out there has familiarity with this, send me an e-mail and I can put you in touch with them directly.
