Accessibility platform

Accessible education is not a feature. It is the standard.

Haptic is an enterprise accessibility platform that helps publishers, universities and corporate L&D teams assess, remediate, verify and certify their digital learning content — at scale, to an auditable standard, within a managed and repeatable workflow.

Three scenarios. All routine.
Publisher

A courseware contract was flagged by a university’s legal team three weeks before renewal. Not because the content was poor — because no one had ever run an accessibility check.

Institution

A student cannot read the PDF assigned last week. Not because they lack the ability — because the file was exported without semantic tags and the reading order breaks apart for a screen reader.

The Haptic lifecycle

From content ingestion to certified conformance.

Haptic is not an automated scanner that generates a report and considers the job done. It is a managed six-stage workflow — because automated scanning catches only 30–40% of WCAG failures. The rest require structured human evaluation.

01
Upload
Content ingested across formats: PDFs, EPUB, HTML courses, SCORM/xAPI packages, video, simulations, third-party tools.
02
Assess
Layered evaluation: automated detection of machine-identifiable failures + structured human review of criteria requiring contextual judgment.
03
Report
Detailed, standards-aligned documentation. Findings mapped. Severity classified. Remediation guidance specific and actionable.
04
Remediate
Human-led
Issues prioritised by severity. Ownership assigned. Progress tracked. Deadlines set — for distributed teams across production, ID, technology, and legal.
05
Verify
Remediated content re-evaluated against the same criteria. Confirms fixes are complete and conformant — not assumed.
06
Certify
Verified content receives formal accessibility certification — timestamped, criteria-mapped, version-specific, audit-ready.

Platform capabilities

Four capabilities. One auditable record.

Every capability feeds the next. Assessment findings drive remediation. Remediation is verified. Verification produces certification. The audit trail is unbroken.

Accessibility evaluation

Automated scanning across all supported content types, with findings mapped to WCAG 2.1 AA success criteria. For PDF content — still the dominant academic format globally — Haptic examines the full structural architecture: tag tree integrity, heading hierarchy, table markup, image alt text, and language specification.

  • Missing semantic tags & broken reading order
  • Unlabelled form fields & insufficient colour contrast
  • Missing alt text, inaccessible tables, absent keyboard navigation
  • ARIA implementation failures

Remediation workflow

Accessibility becomes a managed process, not a one-time event. Issues prioritised by severity with ownership assigned across individuals, teams and external vendors — so accountability is never lost between departments.

  • Severity classification & priority queue
  • Ownership & assignment tracking
  • Progress monitoring dashboard with deadline management
  • Re-testing and sign-off functionality

Reporting & documentation

VPAT / Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR)-level output. Exportable, stakeholder-ready reports suitable for procurement, legal review and institutional governance. A single assessment can produce documentation relevant to multiple regulatory frameworks simultaneously.

  • VPAT / ACR-level conformance documentation
  • Full audit trail with version history
  • ADA, EAA, AODA & TDRA — one assessment, multiple outputs
  • Timestamped certification of accessibility readiness

AI-assisted analysis

Pattern recognition and issue identification at scale — accelerating initial assessment across large content catalogs. AI is a tool within the platform, not the platform itself. Human accountability, structured methodology and documented traceability remain central.

  • Large-catalogue pattern recognition
  • AI accelerates — humans decide
  • Every finding is human-reviewable & standards-mapped
  • Never an opaque algorithmic verdict

Publishers can ship with confidence. Institutions can adopt with confidence. And every learner — regardless of ability, language, geography, or the assistive technology they rely on — can engage with knowledge without being stopped at the door.

Who uses Haptic

Every organisation that ships digital content.

The organisations that need Haptic most are those with the largest gaps between what they believe about their content’s accessibility and what their learners actually experience.

Academic publishers

Embed accessibility into the production pipeline — not as retroactive remediation under legal pressure, but as a quality standard built into how content is shipped.

Universities & colleges

Turn procurement decisions from assumptions into evidence. Before any LMS tool, courseware package or digitisation project deploys to thousands of students.

Corporate L&D teams

Workplace learning has the same accessibility obligations as education. Every employee with a disability attempting to complete your compliance training deserves content that works.

The regulatory reality

A global standard is taking shape.

What began as civil rights legislation in the United States has become a global regulatory convergence around a single technical benchmark: WCAG 2.1 Level AA. The direction is unmistakable. The learners who need accessible content are not waiting for legislation to catch up.

Accessible content is better content.

Captions help non-native speakers. Clear structure helps every reader. Well-tagged PDFs are more searchable and more durable. The choices that make content accessible tend to make it better for everyone.
