Corda Accessibility
As the global leader in innovative data presentation, CORDA recognizes and fully supports providing equal access to information for users who are visually impaired. Corda is the first and only company to provide multiple charting, graphing and mapping solutions that create accessible, 508 compliant charts, graphs and maps with descriptive text. Corda has included the descriptive text feature in all PopChart™ and OptiMap™ products to facilitate inclusion of 508 compliant charts, graphs and maps in all web content.
Highwire automatically creates accessible PDF files from html pages. If a PopChart graph or an OptiMap map is included on a web page, Highwire will automatically include a 508-compliant description of the graph or map and embed the description in the PDF file.
Neal Williams, CEO of Corda Technologies stated, “The Internet is the great new hope for universal access to information and communication. Millions of pages are added each month filled with all manner of information. But, if you are visually impaired, the Internet has limited usefulness. The valuable information contained in charts, graphs and maps can’t be understood unless that data is converted from graphics into text form. We are pleased to be the first company to provide this valuable functionality so that the visually impaired can have the same opportunity to utilize the potential of the Internet.”
Walt Johnson, Program Analyst at the Environmental Protection Agency said, "The stability and capabilities of PopChart made it an easy choice for us but its compliance with section 508 was just one more reason to fast-track the program."
Corda seeks and maintains patents on all of its software. Patents pending.
