Devin B. Holmes, Chief Operating of Officer of YUDU Media, Says:

"Recent studies have shown that an unacceptable number of companies are not complying with current government regulations with regards to the availability of print and online content to the blind and partially sighted. For years, the disabled have been at a huge disadvantage in terms of the number of publications available to them, both digital and in print.

Digital Editions allow the blind and partially sighted access to previously non-accessible publications. Research suggests that, up until now, less than 33% of digital editions, or e-books, are adequately accessible.

However, the ground-breaking YUDU Publishing Digital Edition solution incorporates infinite zoom with crisp vector text to help the partially sighted, and is the first solution of its kind to allow for the parallel production of a fully accessible text version, that can integrate with screen readers for the blind. In addition, this solution also has shortcut keys to help those with motor neurone conditions. The ability for unlimited, global distribution of digital editions also means that these accessible publications will now be available for the disabled all over the world, increasing the number of accessible digital publications worldwide and helping those that cannot access hard copies of publications.

YUDU Media is proud to be producing Welsh Recruitment magazine as our FIRST EVER fully accessible digital edition. It marks an important step forward for us in our mission to significantly increase the number of accessible digital publications available and distributed worldwide to all readers, regardless of sight impairment. This is also an extraordinary feat for Welsh Recruitment, in their drive to help those with sight impairments into employment.”
