The compliance clock is running
The Department of Justice ADA Title II rule requires state and local governments — including towns, counties, school districts, and special districts — to make web content and posted documents meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Compliance deadlines: April 26, 2027 for entities serving 50,000 or more people, and April 26, 2028 for smaller entities. Scanned meeting minutes, old board packets, and copier-output archives are the largest and most commonly missed obligation.
What we remediate
Scanned documents
Image-only and copier-scanned PDFs — meeting minutes, signed records, archival material, even degraded typewriter-era documents. We transcribe, structure, and certify them.
Born-digital documents
PDFs that look fine but have no accessibility structure — untagged exports, reports, publications with tables, worksheets, and complex layouts.
Forms and archives
Static forms converted to accessible structure, and whole-archive backlogs handled at volume with per-page pricing and predictable turnaround.
How we verify — three independent nets
- Machine conformance: every document passes the complete veraPDF PDF/UA-1 validation profile with zero failed checks before it leaves our pipeline.
- Content-coverage gating: output is mechanically compared against the source to guarantee no content was dropped — completeness is proven, not assumed.
- Human review: semantic review of headings, reading order, lists, and tables, with names and figures verified against the source page images. Unreadable passages in degraded scans are marked [illegible] — never guessed.
We use an AI-accelerated pipeline under human certification, and we say so openly: automation does the labor-intensive structural work — which is what makes our pricing and turnaround possible — while machine validation and human review provide the conformance assurance that fully automated tools cannot.
Demonstrated results
Five publicly available government documents spanning the difficulty range of a typical municipal backlog, remediated to PDF/UA-1. Download any sample below — each includes the inaccessible original, the remediated document, and its conformance report. The reports are themselves tagged, PDF/UA-conformant documents. So is this website's printable capability statement.
