Abstract
In the information processing chain many documents are produced that are inaccessible to the reading impaired. The altText project aims to increase the accessibility of this content by: a) raising awareness among content providers about content adaption; b) allowing content providers to deliver content in a way that suits the needs of the information receiver; c) developing an online service that converts written text into several accessible formats (Braille, synthetic speech, large print or DaisyXML). The name of this service is the alt- Text conversion portal. The paper argues that user centred innovation will be crucial to the success of this project. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2009.
