As a minimum, all our content aims to conform to level AA of the latest\u00a0Web Content Accessibility Guidelines<\/a><\/span> WCAG2.2. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities.

You agree not to perform any actions that are intended to subvert DRM Content protections.<\/p>\n The Kortext Reader stores and transmits information regarding your usage of DRM Content to Adobe as part of providing content protection. This information may include the time period in which you read a given book, the last page number you read, and other relevant information.<\/p>\n The Kortext platform can provide DRM free content via the platform. The way of identifying that a piece of content is DRM free is that there are no restrictions on copying or printing in the ereaders\u2019 information toolbar.<\/p>\n If you are a learning provider and require a DRM-free copy of a textbook for a disabled student whose needs aren’t met by our online platform, please email us at\u00a0accessibility@kortext.com<\/a><\/span>\u00a0or, alternatively, call us on\u00a001202 551203<\/span><\/a>\u00a0where a member of our team can put you in contact with someone who can help.

These features are available to use across our content online and on downloaded content. To maximise the accessibility features for the readers we recommend using our App readers (Windows, IOS, MacOS and Android).<\/p>\n Different features will work with different file types that are supplied by publishers. A PDF can be magnified using the zoom tool for example, whereas an ePUB text can be enlarged by changing the font or its size and reflowing the text in the reader screen.<\/p>\n You can learn more about our accessibility features by watching the videos below:<\/p>\n Kortext Accessibility<\/span><\/a>\u00a0from\u00a0Kortext\u00a0on\u00a0Vimeo.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n Kortext encourages its partner publishers to supply accessible PDFs and ePUBs through our publisher agreements.<\/p>\n Our readers can display PDF, ePUB2 and ePUB3 files. The user may also display personal files in these formats in our readers.<\/p>\n Note: In the case of reading personal files in our readers some of our platform accessibility features will only work if they are embedded in your file \u2013 an example being image descriptions (alt-text).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Kortext adheres\u00a0to WCAG<\/a><\/span> 2.2 AA for all alt tags and long descriptions on all the images across the site, excluding book covers. Publishers are responsible for supplying the alt tags and image descriptions. In our publisher contracts Kortext encourages all its publishers to supply this content when possible for use.<\/p>\n Where we use images to support content on the page, we use the \u2018alt\u2019 text attribute to help you understand what the image displays and its purpose.<\/p>\n Links you find on pages also make use of alternative text within the \u2018title\u2019 element. Your screen reader may read this out as part of your custom settings and we will leverage all device capability.<\/p>\n If it is not already available, please email us at\u00a0accessibility@kortext.com<\/a><\/span>\u00a0or, alternatively, call us on\u00a001202 551203<\/a><\/span>\u00a0where a member of our team can put you in contact with someone who can help.

We understand that it is imperative that reading order and navigation are accessible for usability and our reading software is set up to do this. All our links are tab-able and all keyboard users and screen readers will read them. Where applicable our navigation is coded with links for a screen reader to find. Users can also benefit from all our built-in tools such as the \u2018Bookmark\u2019 panel for structural features.<\/p>\n Our best practices include:<\/p>\n We recommend using our App Readers for the best navigation.
