Making Information Clear for Everyone
Content Accessibility & Easy English
Digital accessibility starts with code, but it lives in your content. Content Accessibility is the practice of designing information so it can be understood by everyone, including people with cognitive disabilities, low literacy, or those for whom English is a second language.
At Translationz, we provide content accessibility services to help you transform complex reports, websites and documents into inclusive assets. Easy English plays an important role, using simple language, clear structure and visuals to make information easier to understand for a wider audience. By following Universal Design principles, we ensure your message isn’t just seen, but understood.
Specialised "Easy English" and "Plain Language" Writing
We provide content accessibility services, including specialist writing and editing, that bridge the gap between complex information and clear understanding, transforming detailed or technical content into language that is accessible, structured and easy to follow.
- Easy English (Level A): Designed specifically for people with intellectual disabilities or significant learning difficulties. This format uses very simple sentences and images to convey one idea at a time.
- Plain Language (Level B): Clear, concise communication for the general public. We strip away "legalese" and corporate jargon to make your content faster to read and easier to act upon.
- Structural Editing: We reorganise your content with clear headings, bullet points and logical flow to support screen readers and assist users with ADHD or cognitive fatigue, making information easier to navigate and process.
- Inclusive Copywriting: Ensuring your brand voice is welcoming, gender neutral, and free from exclusionary language or cultural biases, so your content resonates with diverse audiences.
Visual and Multimedia Accessibility
Content isn’t just text. Our content accessibility services ensure your visual and multimedia assets are as inclusive as your words, supporting accessibility across images, video and design so information can be understood by all users.
- Alt-Text and Image Descriptions: Writing meaningful alternative text for complex charts, graphs, and images so that vision impaired users receive the same information as sighted users.
- Accessible Infographics: Redesigning data visualisations to ensure high color contrast and "screen reader friendly" data paths.
- Audio Descriptions: Providing descriptive narration for videos to explain visual actions for people who are blind or have low vision.
- Captioning and Transcripts: Ensuring every video and podcast has a text-based alternative, improving accessibility for Deaf and hard of hearing audiences and supporting search and usability.
Why Inclusive Content is a Competitive Advantage
Content accessibility services expand your reach, strengthen engagement, and reduce misunderstanding, helping your message connect with a broader audience.
- Improved User Experience (UX): Simple, clear content reduces "cognitive load," leading to higher conversion rates and fewer customer support enquiries.
- NDIS & Government Compliance: Meet the strict "Accessible Communications" guidelines required for NDIS providers and local, state, and federal government agencies.
- Global Reach: Plain language is much easier for non native speakers to understand, expanding your reach within Australia’s multicultural landscape.
- Enhanced SEO: Google rewards clear, well structured content that uses logical headings and descriptive alt text, directly boosting your search rankings.
The Foundations of Universal Communication.
Our 4 Pillar Framework for Specialised Accessibility
Digital inclusion requires a holistic approach that addresses how information is seen, heard, and understood. At Translationz, we provide content accessibility services that go beyond simple translation by applying specialised ‘Easy English’ and ‘Plain Language’ principles across all media. This 4 pillar strategy ensures your content isn’t just available, but it is truly accessible to people with cognitive disabilities, sensory impairments, and diverse linguistic backgrounds.
Plain English & Easy English Adaptation
We strip away complex jargon and "legalese" to deliver clarity. Our specialists rewrite dense information into Plain English for general accessibility or Easy English, by using simplified grammar and high frequency words to support users with intellectual disabilities or low literacy.
Alt Text, Contrast & Meaningful Imagery
Vision accessibility ensures that every image serves a purpose. We provide descriptive Alt Text for screen readers and ensure all layouts meet strict AAA color contrast standards. In Easy English documents, we pair text with specific visual cues to reinforce comprehension.
Accessible Transcripts & Text to Speech
We ensure that spoken information is never lost. By providing meticulously formatted transcripts for podcasts, webinars, and meetings, we allow users to engage with audio content through reading or via Braille displays and other assistive technologies.
Captions and Audio Descriptions
We bring video content to life for everyone through a dual layered approach. Synchronised captions provide access for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, while our descriptive audio tracks narrate on screen action for blind or low vision viewers.
