Accessible Epubs: What you need to know

from Chax Chat Accessibility Podcast Hosted by Chad Chelius and Dax Castro

Join our guests Christine Foushi and John Foliot of Content Industries as they talk about accessible epubs. We explore the different versions, how they are structured. Did you know that epubs are basically HTML 5 documents? Stay tuned to listen to us talk about the importance of metadata at the book-level rather than the data-level. We reveal the secret of converting a zip to an epub and how to reverse engineer a word doc to get to the hidden zip contents! Christine and I also have a great discussion about the woes and wonders of alt-text for images. Finally, we get to hear about the online epub testing tool currently under development. This was a really interesting episode!
