In today’s online environment, documents must be accessible to people who use screen readers, keyboard navigation, screen magnification and other assistive technologies.
Inception Technologies helps organizations convert inaccessible PDFs into properly structured documents designed to meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA accessibility standards.
Whether you have a few priority documents or thousands of legacy files, Inception provides the expertise and scalable support needed to move your organization toward compliance.
The U.S. Department of Justice’s Title II rule requires state and local government web content, including online documents, to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Compliance deadlines are April 26, 2027, for larger entities and April 26, 2028, for smaller entities and special district governments.
Inception helps organizations target WCAG 2.2 Level AA, the W3C’s more current accessibility standard.
Commercial organizations benefit from accessible document because compliance improves customer experiences, supports procurement requirements and reduces the legal, operational and reputational risks associated with inaccessible content.
Creating an accessible PDF requires more than making a scanned document searchable. Inception addresses the structural elements that assistive technologies need to interpret and present information accurately.
Our services include:
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) can convert a scanned image into searchable text, but it does not make a PDF accessible.
A searchable file may still lack a logical reading order, document tags, headings, table structures, alternative text and properly labeled form fields. Without these elements, screen readers may present the content incorrectly or fail to communicate it at all.
Inception combines document digitization with accessibility remediation to create files that people can navigate, understand and use.
Many organizations have years of PDFs stored across websites, shared drives, records systems and customer portals. Addressing every document at once may not be practical.
Inception helps clients establish a manageable process:
This phased approach allows organizations to address urgent priorities while making measurable progress toward broad compliance.
Inception can remediate many types of government and commercial documents, including: Public notices, agendas, meeting packets, applications, permits, policies, reports, educational materials, healthcare and insurance information, employee documents, manuals, contracts, brochures, fillable forms, scanned records and archived documents that remain in active use.
Projects can be structured around individual files, priority collections, recurring production needs or large-scale legacy document initiatives.
Did we miss anything? Attention to details is part of our daily business.

Through DocTainium Digitization Services, Inception can convert paper and legacy files into usable digital documents and perform the remediation needed for accessibility. And, DocTainium Cloud provides secure, searchable access to organized information.
This broader expertise helps organizations improve how documents are captured, structured, accessed, and maintained rather than simply correcting a single compliance issue.
