Accessibility Compliance for Australian Universities
The only platform that generates working fixes for pdfs, powerpoints, and latex equations
Australian universities must meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA standards under DDA 1992 and DSE 2005. Faculty are overwhelmed. Existing tools only identify problems—we fix them.

The Accessibility Compliance Challenge
Australian universities face the same accessibility challenges as institutions worldwide
Content Removal Over Remediation
Faculty often consider removing slides, images, and PDFs from courses rather than manually remediating thousands of files. This reduces educational quality for all students.
— Common faculty response to compliance requirements
No Time or Compensation
Faculty receive no additional compensation for accessibility work. Remediating publisher-provided materials with hundreds of slides is prohibitively time-consuming.
— Australian faculty experience
LaTeX is Unsolved
95-99% of mathematicians, physicists, and chemists use LaTeX for equations. Microsoft Equation Editor is not a viable alternative—it's restrictive, inefficient, and requires licensing. Australian STEM departments face the same LaTeX accessibility challenge.
— STEM departments worldwide
Existing Tools Failing
Existing accessibility tools (YuJa Panorama, Blackboard Ally) only identify problems—they don't fix them. Faculty still need to manually remediate every issue, defeating the purpose of automation.
— Faculty experience with scanning-only tools

Frequently Asked Questions
95-99% of mathematicians, physicists, and chemists use LaTeX for equations. Microsoft Equation Editor is not a viable alternative (restrictive, inefficient, requires licensing). Without LaTeX support, STEM departments are forced to either manually retype thousands of equations or delete all technical content. No other accessibility tool supports LaTeX—Aelira is the only solution.
YuJa Panorama and Blackboard Ally only identify problems—they don't fix them. Faculty still have to manually remediate every issue. Aelira generates working fixes you can copy-paste immediately. We also support LaTeX (they don't), offer unlimited file processing (like they do), and cost 80-90% less ($1499 AUD/mo vs $10K-$160K/year).
Australian universities must comply with the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (DDA) and Disability Standards for Education 2005 (DSE). All digital content must meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA standards. The Australian Human Rights Commission actively investigates complaints. Non-compliance can result in: 1) Formal complaints and investigations, 2) Legal action and penalties, 3) Mandatory remediation orders, 4) Reputational damage.
Yes! The pilot program offers 50% off for 3 months for the first 50 departments. This gives you full access to test with your actual content and establish compliance workflows. If it saves your faculty time, keep it. If not, cancel anytime with no penalty.
You can use Aelira alongside existing tools. Many universities use YuJa/Ally for scanning and Aelira for actual remediation (since YuJa/Ally don't generate fixes). The pilot program lets you test this workflow risk-free.
