Fictional town and agenda, created by Clearfile Access as a sample. Not a real government document.

Play the original

• The sidebar is read before the town name and meeting date.
• No headings, so there's no way to jump to the agenda.
• Agenda text runs together; one item is split mid-word ("seco… nd reading").
• The seal is an image with no description.
• The sign-up "fields" are just lines, so nobody can tell what to do with them.
• No title or language, so the file is announced by its file name and may be mispronounced.

Play the fixed version

• Reads in the right order: title, details, agenda, sign-up.
• Real headings, so people can jump straight to the agenda.
• The agenda is a real table: every cell is announced with its column header.
• The seal is described in one short line.
• Sign-up instructions say what to do, in words, and the three fields can be filled in on screen.
• Clear layout for sighted readers too: strong contrast, a typeface made for legibility, and one line per agenda item where it fits.
• Title and language are set, and the file carries the PDF/UA identifier.

"What a screen reader gets" shows the actual text order extracted from each file. The fixed version is written the way a screen reader announces structure; exact wording varies by screen reader. Play uses your browser's built-in voice.
