ELLAAccessible EPUB
EPUB is the standard e-book format. A reading app can change the text size, font, colours and spacing, and a screen reader can read it. That makes it a good choice for long reading.
How to ask
Write "EPUB" in your request: "Turn this report into an EPUB." You can also set "EPUB e-book" as your default output in an accessibility profile.
ELLA can make an EPUB from Word, PDF, HTML, OpenDocument and other supported files. It can also improve an EPUB you give it.
What ELLA does
ELLA builds the e-book from the document's structure: headings become chapters and navigation, lists and tables stay as lists and tables, images get descriptions, and the language is set. Ask ELLA about the checks on your EPUB in the chat.
Open it
EPUB is a download. The app does not show an EPUB because it has no faithful reader for the package. Open the file in a reading app on your phone, tablet or computer. Choose an app that works with your screen reader or braille display if you use one.
What to check
- Open it in the app your reader will use. Apps differ.
- Check that the contents list works and every chapter is there.
- Check images, tables and maths. Ask for a description of anything the reader cannot see.
EPUB or HTML
EPUB is one file and works offline in an app. HTML opens in any browser. Both let the reader change the look. Ask which the reader prefers.
If it will not open
Try another reading app. If the file still fails, contact support and say which app you used.
