Authoring the next generation of accessible content
In the era of EPUB 3 based accessible books the availability of authoring tools is a core requirement for enabling publishers of any type to create accessible publications.
The content that can exist in accessible publications presents a richly varied challenge to providers. Those challenges require tools for human narration, image descriptions, text markup, science and math content, 3D, video and so on. This track describes elements of the current and future tool landscape.
