Case Study: The Information Access Group improves accessible writing quality with VisibleThread

How The Information Access Group Strive Towards A Culture Of Accessibility Using VisibleThread

The Information Access Group, a communications agency specializing in accessible content, needed a solution to improve its internal quality assurance process. Their challenge was to consistently write to specific, low reading grade levels for their plain language and Easy Read services. They turned to the vendor VisibleThread and its VT Writer product to help them meet these stringent editorial standards.

VisibleThread's VT Writer provided an automated checking tool that analyzed documents for long sentences, passive voice, readability, and grade level. This solution gave the agency objective metrics, enhanced their quality assurance, and saved time on editing. The measurable impact was a reliable, unbiased way to ensure their content met desired accessibility goals, which they could confidently demonstrate to their government and not-for-profit clients.
