Hi Laurent, hi everyone, I would say we have reached (at least) one thousand epub including accessibility metadatas produced thru WordToEPUB, mainly by NGOs. I still have difficulties to explain to producers the importance of those metadatas as we do not see them displayed anywhere. As a fallback we now propose to add a metadata page at the end of the content, but it will help us a lot if we have a reading software including the features described in this document. Best regards, Gautier.
