Although the digital revolution has made content available to more people than print books ever could, ebooks are still only as accessible as the foundation theyre built onand all too often the foundation is weak. But thats changing. With the introduction of EPUB 3, publishers now have the means to create a single rich data source for audiences of all reading abilities.

Through practical tips and examples, Accessible EPUB 3 takes you inside the EPUB 3 format and explores how you can enrich and enhance content for all readers. Author Matt Garrish demystifies the process of making content easier to access, demonstrating how accessible practices are intertwined with standard content best practices.

Among many techniques, this guide will teach you how to:

  • Add structure and meaning to your publications to make them more usable by accessible technologies
  • Tailor EPUB Navigation Documents for readers requiring either full or reduced navigation
  • Create media overlays to synchronize human narration with text display
  • Improve text-to-speech playback by adding SSML, PLS lexicons, and CSS3 Speech functionality

Tools of Change

Preface

Accessibility is a difficult concept to define. Theres no single magic bullet solution that will make all content accessible to all people. Perhaps thats a strange way to preface a book on accessible practices, but its also a reality you need to be aware of. Accessible practices change, technologies evolve to solve stubborn problems, and the world becomes a more accessible place all the time.

But although there are best practices that everyone should be following, and that will be detailed as we go along, this guide should neither be read as an instrument for accessibility compliance nor as a replacement for existing guidelines.

The goal is to provide you with insights and ideas into how to begin making your publications richer for all readers at the same time that you make them more accessible. Proliferating usability guidelines and muddying the waters of compliance is not its intent. There are areas that would take a book unto themselves to explore in detail in relation to the use of HTML5 content within EPUB, such as the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and Web Accessibility Initiatives Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA). Whenever issues extend beyond what can be covered in these best practices, pointers to where you can obtain more information will be included. Dont fall into the trap of hand-picking accessibility.

It is also naturally the case with a standard as new and wide-ranging as EPUB 3 that best practices will evolve and develop as the features it offers are explored and implemented. This guide will endeavor to make clear whenever uncertainty exists around an approach, what alternatives there are, and where you should be looking to watch for developments.

You need to be thinking about accessibility and planning good content practices from the outset if youre going to make the most of the features EPUB 3 has to offer. This guide will be your map, but you have to be willing to follow it.

Note

This guide is envisioned as a living document and intended to be updated and re-released as new practices and techniques evolve.
