What is 508 Compliance?

All public facing documents that can be accessed on the internet should be accessible to all people. For all government agencies and companies that serve government agencies, supplying accessible documents is the law. People who have visual, cognitive, hearing or motor impairments have a difficult time accessing documents on the internet due to them being inaccessible. This means that people with certain disabilities can’t help themselves on the internet, preventing them from doing important things., The ideal candidate will be highly proficient in using Microsoft Office Suite products, and Adobe Acrobat Professional. We will train on the use of remediation software to create section 508 compliant PDF deliverable files. A working knowledge of document accessibility and 508 compliance would be helpful. Would prefer a candidate with OCR experience, especially within Abbyy Fine Reader.
