Grackle speeds and simplifies the creation of accessible documents by giving disability and assistive technology services staff a powerful remediation solution that works right in Google’s Applications.
Faculty and students can create accessible documents with a click-and-fix guided remediation tool. Grackle helps users learn about accessibility standards and can be run repeatedly as documents evolve.
When document creators have simple remediation tools, they use them. That means more accessible documents on campus and in the classroom.
They work in a wide variety of roles like those below, among others.
