Accessibility is no longer an extra but a duty: since 2025 the European Accessibility Act requires accessible e-books. The good news — with Chaptrix this happens automatically, not through tedious rework.
What “accessible” actually means
An accessible book can be used without sight or with assistive tech. A screen reader must understand the structure, images need descriptions, and the order must be right — otherwise reading aloud becomes guesswork.
A clear heading hierarchy, not just big type
Alt text for images and graphics
Logical reading order and language tagging
Sufficient contrast and a real text layer
Standards-compliant at the push of a button
Chaptrix exports to PDF/UA (for accessible PDFs) and PDF/A (for long-term archiving), plus clean EPUB3 with correct structure. The format meets the technical requirements in the background — you don’t need to memorise any standard.
Why it pays off twice
Accessible books reach more people and get preferential listing from stores and libraries. What starts as an obligation ends up simply being better craft — for every reader.
Accessibility isn’t a special case. It’s just good book design.
