The real accessibility gap is in your documents.
Most ADA Title II risk sits in downloadable documents — forms, policies, reports, agendas, and public records. Untagged, out of reading order, or unreadable to screen readers. Alto fixes them at scale and gives you the evidence to show progress.

Missing tags, headings, reading order, table structure, form fields, and alt text — remediated automatically. No trained accessibility staff needed.
Check Any PDF, Free
Run a free PDF/UA-1 conformance check on any document to see exactly what's failing, no account or credit card needed. Fix it with Alto when you're ready.

Fix issues automatically
AI-powered remediation handles tags, headings, reading order, tables, form fields, and alt text. Scanned pages get OCR.

Every file includes a veraPDF conformance report — clear evidence it meets WCAG 2.1 AA and PDF/UA standards.
Deadline
ADA Title II compliance begins April 2026.
Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act requires state and local government digital content — including public-facing PDFs — to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Large entities must comply by April 24, 2026; small entities by April 26, 2027. Start remediating now — with proof.
Everything Behind the Download Button
Fix forms, reports, agendas, and public records — at scale.
Permit forms, board packets, meeting minutes, policy documents, HR forms, student handbooks — the files residents, businesses, and students actually download. Alto remediates them automatically, including scanned and image-only PDFs that need OCR.

You don't need trained accessibility staff or expensive desktop software. Upload your documents, Alto applies AI-powered tagging, structure repair, alt text generation, and font embedding — then validates the output.
How Alto Compares
to Other Options.
Manual in-house remediation is slow. Basic checker tools flag problems but don't fix them. Traditional vendors charge per page with weeks of turnaround. Alto remediates at scale with proof.
