end-to-end accessibility solutions
WATERLOO, ON, Nov. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- OpenText™

provider of reading materials for people who are blind, visually
impaired, or reading impaired is leveraging OpenText Output
Transformation solutions in their automation processes to help
organizations provide an inclusive experience for their customers

Braille Works specializes in producing traditional alternative
formats such as braille, large print, or audio, and needed a
solution that provides high-volume automated remediation of
documents. OpenText enables Braille Works to automate the
processing of high-volume print streams, helping to ensure

Relations Braille Works. "This helps us deliver for clients that
remediate tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of
documents on a monthly basis."
OpenText Output Transformation captures, transforms, and
repurposes high-volume documents, enabling on-demand access for
online and mobile presentment and secure delivery in real-time.
OpenText's document transformation technology includes manual and
automated remediation solutions to bring readable documents to
visually impaired customers at scale:

high-volume print streams into accessible PDF and large print
format documents
- OpenText Document Accessibility simplifies remediation of
ad-hoc PDF documents, creating accessible content that drives
customer satisfaction and loyalty
Schubert summarized Braille Works' relationship with OpenText in
making the world a more readable place. "Partnering with OpenText
helps us provide accessibility to more people, providing them
independence and freedom to manage their own information—it's
amazing what that brings to life."
"OpenText helps Braille Works produce a greater number of
high-quality, accessible documents efficiently and
cost-effectively," said Lou Blatt,
SVP and CMO at OpenText. "Combining Braille Works' experience in
