eText is structured electronic text which is accessible to people with a print disability. The Guidelines for Producing Accessible eText provide document creators with best practice accessibility methods across a variety of electronic formats in common use. The guidelines replace the Round Table’s 2018 Guidelines.
The guidelines are available to download in various formats from the Round Table’s OneDrive account: Producing Accessible E-Text (link opens in a new tab)

A special thank you to Dr Scott Hollier, CEO Centre for Accessibility Australia for undertaking a final review of the Guidelines.
We also extend our thanks to the Vision Australia Transcription team for producing the accessible versions.
