Check, fix, and review before you share

A document can look organized and still be difficult to navigate with assistive technology. Inkable brings findings into the authoring workflow so your team can address them while the Google Doc is still being edited.

Headings and document structure

Identify heading hierarchy issues so readers can navigate sections instead of relying on visual formatting.

Author review: Confirm that headings describe the content and follow a logical outline.

Image alternative text

Find missing or low-quality alt text and use AI-assisted descriptions as a starting point for remediation.

Author review: Check descriptions against the purpose of each image, especially charts and technical diagrams.

Tables and headers

Review table structure and header associations so relationships between cells can be understood.

Author review: Verify that headers explain the data and simplify tables that are difficult to navigate.

Links and lists

Review link purpose and list structure to find barriers hidden behind otherwise readable text.

Author review: Check that link labels explain their destination and lists reflect the intended sequence.

Text contrast and document basics

Check text contrast and document metadata, including the title and primary language.

Author review: Confirm the language and title are correct and that meaning is clear without color alone.

Accessible PDF preparation

Use the reviewed source document in Inkable's tagged PDF export workflow, with PDF/UA checks supporting the handoff.

Author review: Review the exported file, including reading order and content meaning, before distribution.

How to use the accessibility tool in Google Docs

  1. Install and open the add-on

    Install Inkable Docs from the Google Workspace Marketplace. Open your document, then choose Extensions → Inkable Docs → Launch.

  2. Review accessibility findings

    Use the sidebar to inspect document checks and identify the headings, images, tables, and other content that need attention.

  3. Apply and verify fixes

    Use supported fixes and author guidance to address findings. Review AI suggestions for accuracy, then rerun checks after editing.

  4. Share the reviewed document or PDF

    Keep the Google Doc ready for future edits. When you need a PDF, use Inkable's export workflow and review the output before publishing.

Follow the installation and first scan guide

Evaluate it with the documents your team actually publishes

Start with a syllabus, an image-heavy handout, and a report with tables. Check whether authors can understand the findings, review suggestions, and repeat the process after revisions. Include a Google Doc and an exported PDF in your review.

Keep human review in the workflow

Automated findings support accessibility decisions. Authors and reviewers still need to confirm meaning, reading order, and the accuracy of AI-generated descriptions before publishing.

A Google Docs accessibility tool helps authors find and address barriers in document content, such as missing image descriptions, unclear headings, and table structure issues. Inkable Docs combines checks, AI-assisted remediation, and a tagged PDF export workflow in a Google Workspace add-on.

Install Inkable Docs from the Google Workspace Marketplace, open a Google Doc, and choose Extensions → Inkable Docs → Launch. Review the sidebar findings, apply supported fixes, check suggestions for accuracy, and rerun the checks after making changes.

Inkable Docs supports review of heading hierarchy, image alternative text, table structure, links, lists, text contrast, and document metadata. Its PDF export workflow also addresses tagged document structure. The support center provides the current accessibility checks reference and details about how fixes work.

No. Automated checks help identify technical issues, while people still need to assess meaning, navigation, reading order, and the accuracy of image descriptions. Include assistive technology review where appropriate to your document and audience.

Yes. Inkable Docs provides a tagged PDF export workflow from Google Docs with PDF/UA-oriented checks. Review source-document findings and the exported file before sharing; passing automated checks alone does not establish complete accessibility conformance.

Start with representative documents such as a syllabus, a handout with images, and a report with tables. Review the findings and suggested fixes with document authors and accessibility staff. Use the pricing, permissions, and capability boundaries pages to assess plans, access requirements, and the role of human review.
