Creators Learn as they Remediate

A Grackle Sheets user doesn’t need accessibility expertise. The Grackle checker outlines what needs to change and makes edits intuitive. Even your boss could do it.

Users learn about accessibility as they walk through it. It’s faster and simpler, and that means more accessible documents.

Back-and-Forth Accessibility

Because it works within G Suite, Grackle helps documents retain their accessibility in collaborative environments like schools and offices. This lightens the workload and shortens the workflow of accessibility specialists and gatekeepers, giving them more time to fine-tune documents

Grackle has powerful tools for fine-tuning.

Accessibility isn’t about meeting standards. It’s about documents (or websites, or buildings) that offer an inclusive experience. Grackle works to exceed the expectations of the people who need accessible documents, as well as those who create them.
