Grackle Docs

Question

What is Grackle Docs? 

What can I do with Grackle Docs? 

Answer

Grackle Docs is a third-party add-on in Google Chrome that automatically checks 22 criteria against WCAG 2.0 and accessible PDF standards.  It uses a wizard to guide the content author to make an accessible Google Doc that can also be exported to an accessible PDF. 

  1. Grackle Docs creates unlimited conversions to a tagged PDF from a Google Doc.  

  2. It features an Alt Text Catalog feature that allows you to build a collection of images and the related Alt-Text. This is a time-saver compared to re-entering alt-text each time an image is added. 

  3. Users can copy and paste sections of a Google document to and from other documents, maintaining accessibility tags.  

  4. Users can set document properties of a PDF file when it is created. 

  5. It also has a built-in wizard for table tagging.
