What Our
Heroes Say

Grackle is an amazing suite that solved a big technical gap with our own organization and our member school districts who all use Google Workspace for document management.

As we began offering website accessibility services, we realized there wasn't a good solution to suggest to our customers on how to manage accessibility within Google documents.

Having to download, convert, and scan through other tools was too cumbersome–until we found Grackle. Despite the pandemic shutdowns, we continue to promote Grackle during our large district tech and superintendent meetings as well as meetings with other collaboratives like ours.

Dear Grackle Team, we are so grateful for your reaching out to share the Grackle product suite. At Columbus State University, we frequently recommend GrackleDocs to faculty members preparing their course content for online courses.

Its design makes addressing accessibility issues clear and straightforward. When an issue is found, the interface provides a link to its location and methods for addressing it. Then you simply do a recheck. It's so easy to use! We are looking forward to trying it out with all Google products. Thanks again!

At NMC our faculty, staff, and students are power users of G-Suite tools. Our Electronic and Information Technology Accessibility Policy applies to websites, digital content, and software created and used by NMC for organizational and academic activities.

Grackle Docs is an important tool for creating accessible G-Suite documents to help us reach our accessibility goals and maintain compliance with W3C WAI WCAG as required by Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. It is an affordable solution for a small institution to move forward with creating accessible documents and remediation.

As our K-12 District Webmaster, I am responsible for performing accessibility compliance remediation on many non-compliant PDFs.

I desperately needed a user-friendly solution to enable staff to help. Grackle Suite exceeded my expectations. With complex documents, it not only identified errors, but it took me directly to them and showed me how to correct them!

I was impressed, but I wanted further proof that Grackle would be user-friendly for staff who are not compliance-savvy. I asked a co-worker to try it, and within an hour she emailed me saying, “I’m in love!” There was no turning back. We had to have Grackle!

"This product has been a God-send for me as part of my duties includes Staff Development and Accessibility training.
With our district using more and more of the G Suite products, it was important for us to find an easy-to-use accessibility solution. GrackleDocs and GrackleSheets are perfect.
Easy to implement, easy to use and great support videos and support staff that helped lower our learning curve before using the products!"

Gloria Sprankle Web Architect, Altoona Area School District, Altoona PA aasdcat.com November 21, 2019

"As an educational non-profit with limited budgets, we looked for an affordable solution to implement Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 for our G Suite output and meet requirements for OCR compliance.
We didn't find anything else that would work as well, nor as inexpensively, as Grackle Suite to help us remediate our Google Docs, Sheets and Slides. My students who I teach accessibility to (Region 10 staff) like it and think it’s easy to learn and use. I highly recommend Grackle."

Shayne Warner Web Accessibility Specialist, Region 10 Education Service Center, Texas region10.org June 4, 2019

"As a G-Suite campus we are seeing increased use of Google Docs for the creation of content in instruction and regular business operations including course syllabi and lecture notes as well as departmental memos and policy documents.
We continue to stress the importance of accessible documents to assure effective use by all and to maintain compliance. Being able to offer the Grackle Suite of tools to our users will help them accomplish this."

Jeff Toorongian Associate Director and Senior Educational Technologist, Michigan Technological University, Michigan mtu.edu May 1, 2019

Not only is Grackle the solution I was looking for, but the team in customer support is also amazing. They stuck with me throughout set up, answered all my questions and made sure I was comfortable in using the product. Make the investment in Grackle, you won't be disappointed!

“Being able to use Grackle on my Chrome device has made it easier & quicker to make our school web page accessible to all who would use it. I do not have to go through a convoluted process to use it. With just opening up the add-on, I can get started modifying the documents I need to upload to our website”

Paradise Valley Unified School District Content Editor, Paradise Valley Unified School District, Arizona pvschools.net March 9, 2019

“It’s really easy and helps you learn more about Google Docs and how to make them accessible. This tool gives you the tricks of the trade to get it right the first time.”

“Dude, you guys are on it like hooked on phonics!”

Justin Armstrong IT/Computer Technician, Connecting Waters Charter School, California connectingwaters.org January 30, 2019

The team at Grackle Docs is amazing! We began working with them with the intention of having 5 users on their product and, less than 4 months into working with them, we are now at 80 licenses.
Their product is so easy to learn, it’s allowed us to expand our user base much more rapidly than what we had thought we’d be able to. Most importantly for us, very few companies provide the customer support that we’ve received from Grackle Docs and we would recommend them to anyone!

Jim Leishman Accessibility Coordinator/Digital Information Specialist, Port Huron Schools, Michigan phasd.us August 25, 2018

“Grackle Docs is the only tool I’ve used that makes the creation of accessible PDFs a pleasurable experience”

Leon McNaught Coordinator of Accessible Technology Initiative, CSU San Bernardino csusb.edu January 14, 2018

“The Grackle Docs’ interface shows document accessibility errors and guides you through fixing them. The process is very easy allowing you to create an accessible PDF at the click of a button.
After exporting over 250 accessible PDFs in a month with Grackle Docs, I am impressed and relieved to have such a fabulous add-on to Google Docs. The Grackle Docs’ staff respond to support requests promptly, thoroughly and politely.”

Tricia Littlefield The Simple Web, Ontario thesimpleweb.ca March 28, 2017

“The team at Grackle Docs was great to work with. They got us up and running in a matter of hours just in time for a training session with our teachers. The product is very simple for end users and quickly creates accessible content for our new website.”

Mark Nelson Executive Director of Technology, Romeo Community Schools, Michigan romeok12.org February 28, 2017

“Compared to the built-in features of Microsoft Office and Office 365 Suite, I find the GrackleDocs Add-on to be far easier to use and more intuitive for everyday users and teachers.”
