Service Description
Binghamton University provides a suite of powerful tools to help our community create and access digital content. These tools are available to all faculty, staff, and students.
Integrated directly into Brightspace, YuJa Panorama helps instructors identify and fix accessibility issues within their course content. It provides real-time feedback and guided-fixes for documents and pages, and allows students to download alternative formats (such as audio, ePub, or tagged PDF) of course materials. This tool is a key resource for creating an inclusive learning environment for all students.
Grackle is an add-on for Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides that checks for accessibility issues and provides step-by-step guidance to fix them. With Grackle, you can ensure your Google Workspace documents are accessible and compliant with WCAG and PDF/UA standards. It simplifies the process of creating tagged, accessible PDFs directly from your Google documents.
Read&Write is a literacy support tool that helps with reading, writing, and studying. It can read text aloud, provide definitions for unfamiliar words, and includes tools like highlighters, vocabulary lists, and an audio maker to convert text into audio files. It's available for multiple platforms, including as a Chrome extension and on Mac and PC desktops, making it a versatile tool for all learners.
Equatio is a tool that makes it easier to create and read mathematical and scientific expressions digitally. It allows users to type, handwrite, or speak equations, formulas, and quizzes, and it can read them aloud. This is an invaluable tool for STEM courses, making complex notation accessible to everyone.
SensusAccess is a self-service document conversion tool that transforms documents into a range of alternative formats. You can convert files into audiobooks (MP3 and DAISY), e-books (EPUB, Mobi), and digital Braille. It can also be used to make inaccessible documents, like image-only PDFs or JPEGs, more accessible. This service is available online to all members of the Binghamton community.
