For Educational Institutions and Publishers, the Accessibility Mandate Is Clear. The Path Forward Isn’t.

With ADA Title II updates around the corner and rising compliance demands, institutions are stuck between growing expectations and limited capacity. Most institutions remain committed to accessibility but limited capacity stands in the way of progress. Institutions are expected to deliver inclusive course materials without the tools, training, or time to do so. Disability services teams are stretched thin, remediating PDFs manually while new requests continue to pile up. Meanwhile, compliance requirements are accelerating faster than most systems can adapt.

Even when teams are willing to get on the path, they face several challenges:

Keeping up with Legacy PDFs

Legacy course materials, scanned documents, and outdated formats weren’t designed for accessibility and they’re only growing.

Complex Content, Confusing Results

STEM equations, tables, and multilingual text often break automation and create inconsistent user experiences.

Manual Efforts are Inadequate

Human remediation is time-intensive and expensive and still struggles to scale across thousands of files.

Accessibility is an Afterthought

When it’s treated as a final step, remediation becomes slower, costlier, and harder to manage.

Smaller Teams, Too Many Priorities

With small teams and tight timelines, institutions are stretched thin trying to meet accessibility demands.

The result?

Learners with disabilities continue to experience delays, or worse, exclusion. Faculty face burnout. And, institutions are left balancing compliance risks against operational overwhelm.
At Continual Engine, we’ve successfully partnered with educational institutions – small and large including community colleges, and large universities. What we’ve seen is consistent: accessibility isn’t just a checkbox, it’s a question of equity. However, solving it at scale takes more than commitment. It takes the right infrastructure.

How PREP Supports Educational Institutions With Scalable Document Accessibility

Our AI-powered tool replaces manual remediation with smart automation, giving your teams a faster, simpler way to deliver high-quality accessible documents across departments and campuses.

The Challenge How PREP Helps
Speed & Scale
Educational teams are flooded with accessibility requests, but lack tools to respond quickly and at volume.
PREP automates over 90% of tagging and compliance checks, reducing remediation time by 60% and cutting costs by up to 50%, all without compromising on accuracy.
Institutions face bottlenecks when new formats and materials need fast remediation.
PREP integrates directly with LMS platforms like Canvas and D2L Brightspace, eliminating upload-download cycles and speeding up accessibility workflows.
Institutions lack the internal capacity to handle complex, time-sensitive remediation.
PREP’s Remediation Services Platform enables you to outsource complex files with just 1 click.
Accuracy & Compliance
Manual tagging is inconsistent and risks non-compliance with WCAG, PDF/UA, and ADA Title II.
PREP ensures consistent, standards-aligned output across documents, backed by a built-in accessibility checker and screen reader preview.
Teams struggle to meet varying regional and international accessibility mandates.
PREP’s outputs are 100% compliant with WCAG, PDF/UA, ADA Title II updates.
Multilingual content, including right-to-left languages, is difficult to remediate accurately.
PREP supports multiple languages, including Hebrew and Arabic, with precise rendering and compliance validation.
Complex Documents & Diverse Formats
STEM visuals, maps, and charts lack meaningful alt-text that’s accurate and contextually relevant.
PREP’s image GPT automatically generates alt-text for complex visuals like math formulae and chemistry equations and offers optional SME verification.
Manual remediation of bulk or similar documents slows down institutional response times.
1-click bulk tagging for templates and repetitive formats accelerates delivery and reduces effort.
PDF remediation alone isn’t enough, learning content spans multiple formats.
Continual Engine offers multi-format accessibility, including PowerPoints, ePubs, image PDFs, and more through outsourcing.
Integration & Workflow Compatibility
Remediation tools often sit outside core academic workflows, causing inefficiencies.
PREP API plug-in allows institutions to embed real-time remediation into existing systems like CMS, DMS, or intranets.
Accessibility needs are spread across large, collaborative teams with decentralized content.
PREP enables collaborative access, user management, and real-time versioning, supporting teams of all sizes.
Lack of visibility into document remediation progress across users, departments, and timeframes limits planning and scaling.
PREP offers admin controls to track usage, create users, and assign work. This helps teams manage large volumes, monitor progress, and plan training or task allocation effectively.
