The Swedish Agency for Accessible Media (MTM) uses Textalk's Webarch and Vision to convert and make literature accessible to readers with visual impairments. These tools allow MTM to provide accessible material to everyone, regardless of visual ability, and fulfill its mission to promote equal access to information.

Webarch for efficient text conversion
The Swedish Agency for Accessible Media (MTM) uses Textalk's Webarch to convert large amounts of text from PDF and InDesign to accessible formats. Webarch enables MTM to offer a wide range of literature and study materials in digital formats, such as e-books and Braille, facilitating the distribution of customized books and articles. Thanks to Webarch's automated process, MTM can ensure that all texts are converted while maintaining structure and high quality.

Vision for accessibility
To further facilitate reading for the visually impaired, MTM uses Textalk's Vision. Vision enables MTM to produce talking newspapers and e-books in formats that are adapted for screen readers and other assistive devices. This allows MTM to reach a wider audience and ensure that their material is accessible to all, regardless of visual ability. Vision plays an important role in ensuring that all texts can be read and experienced by visually impaired users.

Webarch and Vision in partnership
The combination of Webarch and Vision gives MTM a complete system for both converting and making literature accessible. Webarch handles the technical aspects of content conversion, while Vision ensures that visually impaired readers can access the material in the correct format. Together, these technologies help MTM fulfill its mission to provide literature and study materials for all.
