In case you haven't heard... Here's some news from the ATRC at University of Toronto ... A-Prompt is beyond Beta! Help files and everything! A-Prompt Toolkit Version 1 web accessibility validation and repair utility is now downloadable (free of charge) at: http://www.aprompt.ca/ ________________________________________ Developed by the accessibility experts at the Adaptive Technology Resource Centre (ATRC), University of Toronto, this standalone tool will check and repair HTML for conformance with WAI Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 or Section 508 Standards. If an accessibility problem is detected, A-Prompt displays the necessary dialogs and guides the user to fix the problem. When all potential problems have been resolved, the repaired HTML code is inserted into the document and a new version of the file may be saved to the author's hard drive. This software is made available through a joint collaboration between the Adaptive Technology Resource Centre (ATRC) at the University of Toronto and the TRACE Center at the University of Wisconsin. These research centres are dedicated to improving the accessibility and usability of information technologies by people with disabilities. For a quick overview of the A-Prompt Toolkit, please visit: http://www.aprompt.ca//quickstart/ ____________________________________________________________________ We are looking for opportunities to promote use of the A-Prompt - please consider posting a link on your web site, or let us know if you need more information related to this project.
