Fluidbook is accessible and adapted to everyone

People with disabilities are often forgotten while forming a substantial part of your audience.
4.5% of the global population is experiencing colour blindness, 4% are suffering from low vision, and another 0.6% are blind.*
One billion people, or 15% of the world's population, experience some form of disability.**

As an option, we can create an audio version of your publication, with page-by-page narration based on the Microsoft Azure solution. Your reader simply has to listen to your publication, read by high-quality, natural-sounding voices—both male and female—available in all languages!
This is also compatible with the Text-to-Speech technology included in screen reader programs (JAWS).

It seems like an impossible mission to adapt all the interactive possibilities of a Fluidbook to the visually impaired. Our solution is to provide alternative content only presented to this audience. Images, illustrations, animations etc., are replaced by Text-to-Speech descriptions. You can substitute all the content of a page with adapted and well-organized text to be read by the fluidbook or screen reader. Why not add a welcome message when the fluidbook is opened?

Some content like charts or complex illustrations can be hard to describe by text. An excellent solution to this problem is to use the fluidbook zoom areas (more info). When clicked, these areas expanded to fill the whole screen and drastically increase the readability.
