Guidelines for Producing Accessible eText (2024)

Guidelines for Producing Accessible eText (2024)

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 as a free download using the links below.

  • Fozia Mannon, Blind Low Vision NZ
  • Jane Wegener, Vision Australia (Chairperson)
  • Sonali Marathe, NextSense
  • Trent Betts, Vision Australia

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.
