Real quotes from professors facing the April 2027 deadline
"Many faculty members are considering removing all slide presentations and images from their Canvas course rather than jump through hoops."
- r/Professors (47 upvotes)
"There was a 20-chapter textbook with publisher-provided PowerPoints that were NOT accessible. I refused. I wasn't being paid to go through hundreds of slides."
- r/Professors
"95-99% of all mathematicians use LaTeX to compile PDFs. Microsoft Equation Editor is restrictive, less efficient, requires paid services."
- r/Professors (STEM departments stuck)
Existing accessibility tools offer some auto-fixes for basic issues. Aelira goes further with deep structural remediation across PDFs, Office documents, LaTeX, and STEM content. Faculty still need to manually remediate many issues with other tools, defeating the purpose of automation.

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. Aelira provides comprehensive LaTeX support to address this gap.
Tools like YuJa and Ally now offer some auto-remediation, but it's limited: Ally fixes title, language, and OCR plus AI alt-text, and YuJa's AutoPilot handles common structural issues. Neither does deep remediation (full tag trees, tables, reading order) across every document type, and neither remediates native LaTeX source. Aelira goes deeper, runs on self-hosted open-source models so your documents never leave your servers, supports native LaTeX→MathML, and offers transparent pricing.
Per DOJ guidance, large universities (50,000+ population jurisdictions) must meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA by April 26, 2027, while smaller universities (under 50,000) have until April 26, 2028. These dates were extended by one year under the DOJ Interim Final Rule published April 20, 2026; the rule's substance is unchanged. Non-compliance can result in: 1) Random course audits by administration, 2) Meetings with department chairs, 3) Loss of federal funding, 4) ADA lawsuits (8,800 filed in 2024 alone). Starting now gives you time to remediate existing content and establish compliance workflows.
Yes. Our pilot program offers six weeks of bounded evaluation access for 10 university departments at no software charge. You test a frozen corpus against agreed success criteria with a direct support channel. Any infrastructure work and continuation price are stated separately in writing.
You can use Aelira alongside existing tools. YuJa and Ally do offer some auto-remediation now (Ally: title, language, OCR, and AI alt-text; YuJa: common structural fixes via AutoPilot), but neither does deep remediation across all document types or native LaTeX source. Many universities keep YuJa/Ally for their LMS workflow and add Aelira for deeper, on-prem, LaTeX-capable remediation. The pilot program lets you test this workflow risk-free for 6 weeks.
Only 10 pilot spots available. Six weeks at no software charge; continuation is optional and priced in writing.
