Why incorporating accessibility is important
- [Laura] 15% of the world's population uses assistive technology because of a disability, and 85% of the non-disabled market has a situational disability that calls for assistive technology. As the population ages those needs are intensified. Print disability can be blindness but also low vision, dyslexia, mobility, or even attention issues. One of the key affordances of eBooks is that they are democratic. They're essentially simple HTML and CSS in a EPUB wrapper. Their very nature means that they're ready to render in the various reading systems, but they can be easily output to braille, read aloud via a screen reader, or put into a custom font that makes it easier for someone with dyslexia to read. In my LinkedIn learning course on EPUB accessibility using InDesign, you will learn how to use InDesign to create better, more accessible eBooks. There are no easy buttons in InDesign, and we will cover in detail how to manipulate InDesign to give you a cleaner eBook. I will also explain the principles of accessible eBooks, and show you how to remediate the post export EPUB to shine up its accessibility. Let's get started.
