Accessible EPUB

Accessible EPUB 3 services for future-ready digital publishing

Accessible ebooks are becoming a practical requirement for publishers, platforms and readers. TextWorks prepares EPUB files with clean structure, logical navigation, accessibility-aware metadata and review-friendly markup so digital books are easier to read with modern reading systems and assistive technology.

Overview

Accessible EPUB Services

Digital publishing works best when files are clean, structured, discoverable and easy to navigate. TextWorks helps publishers and authors move from basic conversion to a dependable EPUB workflow that considers headings, reading order, table of contents, image descriptions, semantic structure and file validation.

This service is useful for publishers selling in accessibility-sensitive markets, education providers, nonfiction authors, academic publishers and agencies managing backlist conversion. We can work from Word manuscripts, print layouts, PDFs or cleaned OCR text, depending on source quality and final requirements.

Accessible EPUB can be combined with print formatting, OCR cleanup or backlist conversion. For complex illustrated, table-heavy or academic books, we first review the sample file and recommend whether reflowable EPUB, fixed layout or a staged cleanup workflow is appropriate.
