Re: Document Accessibility Scanner

Hi Shivaji,

If you are a Google for Education user running under Moodle (or any other
LMS), we have a suite of products that check for accessibility and help
remediate across Docs, Sheets and Slides. There is a free 30 day trial
available from the Google Marketplace after which there is a paid for
version specifically for education and non-profit customers. This works out
at $500 per year per domain for unlimited users & unlimited usage. You can
see a selection of education customers here:
https://www.grackledocs.com/customers-heroes-say-accessibility/

Apologies for the vendor post if you are not a Google customer!

Regards,
Jeff.
