Complying with WCAG 2.0 - Level AA

You can publish titles that comply with the standards set in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 - Level AA. These standards govern the ideal requirements that must be met to enable Web-based content to be accessible to individuals with disabilities. View information about these standards at http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/.

Various government agencies have successfully created Web accessible content using the program. While the WCAG 2.0 – Level AA standards can be interpreted in various ways, this section provides reference to information and instructions for satisfying the following Level A and AA requirements.

For details about using pre-defined accessibility settings within Lectora, see Preparing a title for accessibility.
