Abstract (EN):
How many times a person does not understand a video
because cannot access its sound? How often persons have
wondered about how interesting it would be to have a
certain book in audio format, to continue reading while
doing other activities?
With the exponential growth of digitization of
information in contemporary society, it is essential to
adopt accessibility policies to technologies and
information systems.
The provided information should be considered for
different users and different usage contexts. The more
versatile or flexible the format is, the more useful and
effective it can be for everyone.
Aiming to contribute to an increasingly universal
design, an online platform with tutorials that provide
guidelines for creating accessible digital documents
formatted in Word, PowerPoint and HTML was
implemented. In addition, two experimental tools were
provided: one for reading mathematical formulas written
in MathML and the other to convert to text and speech
simple SVG images, allowing the user to navigate
through the description.
The challenge is, on one hand, to give users
knowledge about tools that already offer resources to
create accessibility, and that due to general lack of
information are simply just not used; on the other hand,
as done in the following chapter on HTML, to review the
usefulness of fundamental aspects and some strategies to
create and provide information.
