Fixed layout titles and real problems today

Hello WG folks,

 

I know we are working on the best ways to create a fixed layout
specification that will be accessible. However, there are many that are on
the market today. Are there techniques to transform these into something
that is accessible? I mean what do we do when a child with a disability
needs to be reading the same picture book as everybody else? If the child is
learning with a refreshable braille display, they need to get at the text in
the correct reading order.

 

If there is something you can think of that could be automated for a large
set of titles, that would be good to know.

 

Best

George
