Use the Right Web Browser

Not all web browsers are created equal! We recommend, for best performance, using Chrome, Firefox, or Safari. Do not use Internet Explorer. It does not work with image placement.

A few best practices:

  • Headers – only use the title asset for true titles. If you want text to be larger and bold, then use the appropriate methods in the toolbar (increase font size with the + key, use the B icon for bold).
  • Alignment – Use the left, center, or right alignment rather than adding in extra spaces or tabs.
  • PDF files uploaded – make sure that all PDFs have been run through the OCR feature in Adobe Acrobat or some other software. The purpose is to make sure the text appears as text and not an image. OCR will scan an image and extract the text. 
  • Photos- Add a caption with every photo, if the photo is required for the understanding of information. If it is aesthetic, there is no need.  Do not embed text in a photo. It is unreadable by screen readers.
  • Video – Should be captioned. YouTube can help. If not captioned,  provide a transcript.
  • Audio –Should have a written transcript.
  • Avoid Flash files. They do not translate well with screen readers.
