Alternative Formats Creation

Accessible communication is not only about making a website usable. It is about ensuring that people can access your information in a format that works for them. We can develop alternative formats and Easy Read versions of your content so that your messages remain clear, inclusive and usable for a wider range of audiences.

This can include creating audio versions, transcripts, subtitles, caption support and Easy Read documents. Each format allows people to engage with your information independently, whether they have visual, cognitive, language or processing access needs.

Services can include:

Easy Read documents
• Converting complex or technical content into clear, plain language versions
• Using Easy Read structure with short sentences, clear headings and supportive images
• Ensuring layout, spacing and typography are accessible
• Creating documents that follow recognised Easy Read principles

Audio versions
• Professional audio recordings of written content
• Clear, paced narration for reports, guides or instructions
• Formats suitable for websites, intranets or distribution to service users
• Optional supplementary written summaries where helpful

Transcripts and subtitle support
• Creating accurate text transcripts for video or audio content
• Subtitles and caption files (such as SRT or VTT) for video accessibility
• Ensuring timing, readability and clarity meet accessibility guidelines
• Support with integrating captions on web or hosted video platforms

Alternative formats and adaptations
• Large print versions with accessible contrast and type choices
• Structured digital documents compatible with screen readers
• Content reformatted for simpler layouts or mobile access
• Advice on building alternative formats into your regular workflow

Creating alternative formats and Easy Read materials is about clarity and dignity. It ensures that people can access information in a form that makes sense to them, without needing to rely on others to interpret it.
