The Idea

By combining accessibility with text-to-speech technology, we wanted to give the content the power to speak. The idea was to have a PDF Reader which will be easy to use and be available on both web and mobile devices. Also, build a strong Portal, which will ensure the management of all the publishers and their documents/magazines. Creating this platform will allow the clients the ability to reach their entire audience and at the same time become WCAG 2.1 compliant.
