ELLAAccessible HTML
HTML is the language of web pages. A good HTML page reflows as the reader zooms, takes their own colours and fonts, and works with a screen reader.
How to ask
Write "web page" or "HTML" in your request: "Turn this handout into an accessible web page." You can set "Web page" as your default output in an accessibility profile.
What ELLA builds
- A heading structure that follows the document.
- Lists and tables with proper markup, and table headings tied to their data.
- Descriptions for images.
- The language of the page, and of passages in another language.
- Maths that screen readers can read.
- Links with text that says where they go.
Using the file
Open the file in any browser. To share it, put it where your reader can open it, for example a school learning platform. The file is yours to use.
What to check
- Zoom to 200 percent. The text should wrap, not scroll sideways.
- Move through it with the keyboard.
- Open it with the reader's screen reader.
- Check the headings, the reading order and the descriptions of images.
ELLA's reply says what it checked. It does not promise that a page meets a standard. The terms of service say to check results before you rely on them.
HTML or EPUB
HTML opens in a browser. EPUB is one file for a reading app. Ask the reader which they like.
