Accessibility

eText is accessible off the shelf. We work to meet and exceed ADA 508 requirements. Screen reader and assistive technology compatibility is not an after-thought — rather, it is central to the development of our platform. Not only is our platform accessible, but all of our content is as well.

eText's fluid XML/HTML 5 framework makes reading easy for everyone.
