[CATO] Common Look Tools?

[Rovner, Amy]

Hi CATO friends,

I'm in an Allyant webinar - they make the CommonLook tools for making office, PDF, etc. accessible.

They got my attention when one of the presenters (who is blind) said they would 100% choose an accessible PDF over a Word doc (made as accessible as the Word accessibility tool directs). That blew my mind b/c that is the exact opposite of what I have heard users who are blind have said in the past. Just trying to figure out if it's a sales tactic or that their PDF remediation tools are really that good.

Are any of you using these tools? Thoughts?

Thank you!
Amy
