Your Archive Is Massive. Your Accessibility Budget Isn’t. ✅ Solution: Accessible Archive From Pneuma Solutions

Your Archive Is Massive. Your Accessibility Budget Isn’t. ✅ Solution: Accessible Archive From Pneuma Solutions

🔗 https://pneumasolutions.com/accessiblearchive/

ADA Title II Deadline: April 24, 2026

🔗 https://title2.info/

State & local governments (population 50,000+) must ensure websites, mobile apps, and digital documents comply with WCAG 2.1 Level AA.

Universities, libraries, and public agencies share the same reality: decades of PDFs/scans in “permanent” archives, and a legal + ethical obligation to make them accessible. Manually remediating millions of files isn’t a strategy; it’s an open liability. That’s why Pneuma Solutions built Accessible Archive.

🎯 Built For

University/academic libraries; public libraries/state archives; museums/cultural institutions; government agencies/records offices; large enterprises with document management systems full of old PDFs.

If you own legacy content + accessibility (or lawsuits), it’s for you.

🧠 Just-In-Time Accessibility

Traditional: “Remediate everything up front, or not at all.” Slow, expensive, usually cut halfway.

✅ New Model:

• 📄 User requests a doc (catalog/DMS/portal).
• 📄 It converts that file to accessible formats: HTML, tagged PDF, MP3, braille, large print.
• 📄 Result is cached.
• 📄 As the engine improves, the same file can be auto-reprocessed to a higher standard.

👉 You stop paying to fix documents nobody reads.

⚙️ Fits Your Existing Stack

Add an “Accessible version” button in your catalog/repository/intranet. Click → your system calls the API; user picks a format; delivery in seconds/minutes, not weeks. Deploy in cloud (general collections) or on-prem/private appliance (content stays inside your network). All traffic is encrypted; you control what’s retained beyond caching + audit evidence.

📊 Compliance, With Receipts

Not just files: timestamps, pipeline/version info, and input/output hashes to prove which file became which accessible version. Align with WCAG + PDF/UA, and show auditors/regulators what you did at scale.

💰 Economics Shift

From high cost/page x small subset → low cost/page x documents people actually use.

You eliminate one-off remediation projects, reduce backlog + accommodation response times, and make measurable monthly progress.

✅ For Leaders of Large Collections

If a person with a print disability browsed your archive today: how many docs could they use, and what proof shows systemic progress (not just complaints)?

If that answer is uncomfortable, pilot one collection/repository and see what happens when accessibility becomes a service that runs every time someone clicks “Accessible Version.”

About: WayAround is the app for your smart device that provides on-demand details about everyday things. The simple tag-and-scan approach lets you quickly and easily identify things around you. It also provides extra details, like how something works or when it expires. The result? Doing more of the things you want, with more confidence and more independence.

All the information you want with just a tap of your phone. No more waiting around to ask someone. You need just two things to get started: The free mobile app for iOS or Android and some of our smart WayTags^®.

Accessible labels for the blind, deafblind, and anyone with vision loss. Your biggest problem isn’t poor eyesight. It’s that so much of the information in the world is visual. But you shouldn’t have to wait around for someone else to get the information you need. Or carry around a bulky, outdated device. There is a better way to get accurate and complete information every time. So you can reduce stress and gain independence.

Editor: Ben Moxey

Editor Since: January 1, 2022

Location: Newcastle, Australia

Time Zone: Australia Eastern Standard Time (AEST/AEDT) (GMT+10)

In addition to serving as an Editor to Top Tech Tidbits Ben is also an Access and Technology Advisor for Guide Dogs, New South Wales, Australian Capital Territory (NSW/ACT).

Hi, Tidbits readers, my name’s Ben Moxey and I’m based in Newcastle, Australia. I’m really happy to be part of the Tidbits Team and look forward to supporting this valuable publication.

A bit about me and how I came to work in the BVI area. I grew up with very low vision in one eye due to retinal issues and relied on magnification and speech throughout school. They also tried to teach me Braille, but let’s just say that I wasn’t the best student! I was determined to use my remaining vision, no matter how impractical it was becoming.

When I was 20, the other retina came off and I’ve now been totally blind for about 21 years. This is when my love for assistive technology, and technology in general, really kicked in. I’ll be honest, I was a bit of a computer nerd anyway, but I could quickly see how technology was my key to enhanced independence and lifestyle. I embraced screen readers, early smart phones and mobility aids. I even finally realised the huge value of Braille and finished off the course, though I’m still pretty slow!

Long story short (not one of my strong points), I’ve worked in the BVI area for 12 years with much of that spent reviewing, recommending and teaching assistive technology that suits the individual. I’m currently a proud employee of Guide Dogs NSW/ACT where I was the Practice Lead for the assistive technology service, and I’ve now moved into an Access and Technology Advisor role. Basically, this involves a strong focus on accessibility and technology innovation.

Feel free to look me up on LinkedIn, but I’ll warn you in advance that I haven’t given my profile the recommended attention!

All the best and happy reading!

Editor: David Woodbridge

---

Editor Since: February 6, 2023

Location: Central Coast, New South Wales, Australia

Time Zone: Australia Eastern Standard Time (AEST/AEDT) (GMT+10)

In addition to serving as an Editor to Top Tech Tidbits David also serves as an Editor to the Access Information News publication and is also the National Commercial Assistive Technology Advisor for Vision Australia where he has worked since 1990. Over this time he has assisted people who are blind or vision impaired in their home, education, and work settings to take advantage of the benefits of using assistive and main stream technology.

In the last seventeen years, he has also been involved with evaluating technology for use by people who are blind or vision impaired covering both low and high tech equipment (including Microsoft, Samsung, Google, Amazon, and Apple). David is also one of the key spokespersons for Vision Australia relating to technology.

He has been an Apple Ambassador for Apple Australia since 2009 with a group of other Ambassadors / Apple Distinguished Educators (ADE)‘s covering the range of Apple’s Accessibility solutions throughout Australia.

David produces a range of podcasts (since 2011) covering Apple and other technologies which are distributed on his own podcast (http://davidwoodbr.podbean.com). In addition, he also has a regular Talking Tech program (since 2013) which can be heard every Tuesday at 4:30 Eastern Summer Time on Vision Australia Radio Melbourne (available online) or via https://omny.fm/shows/talking-tech-vision-australia-radio

David also runs a weekly Tech Monday where people can chat about assistive and main stream technology, share information, and any tips and tricks.

David lost his sight when he was 8 years old and had to learn Braille. Since then, he completed high school, went to Sydney University receiving a Social Work degree, spent 4 years drug and alcohol counselling, and then moved into his current job.

As a person who is blind, David believes that as a user of the technology that he recommends to others, that he is well situated to look at the strengths and shortcomings of the assistive technology that he comes across in both his professional and personal life, in particular, mainstream technology that is accessible.

In addition to his weekly contributions to Top Tech Tidbits and Access Information News, David’s regularly occurring activities are his weekly tech radio show, bi-monthly exploring tech webinars for Vision Australia, his iSee podcast when something of note grabs his attention, and the weekly Tech Monday chat sessions.
