As you manage budget constraints, growing workloads and increasing demands for instant information, how does paper impact the accessibility of your workplace?

Consider the productivity lost when visually impaired staff cant access information on paper. Consider filing cabinets that hold important information but prevent the mobility-impaired from making productive use of it. Consider the physical challenges of carrying boxes from storage rooms and manually searching their contents.

The Costs of Inaccessibility

• Paper-based information locked away from staff and the public
• Limited staff participation in vital work processes
• Lower productivity organization-wide
• Obstructs process of hiring and retaining productive workers
• The cumulative costs of paper storage, retrieval and distribution

The Value of Accessibility

• Vital information instantly available to all authorized persons
• Everyone participates in the work environment
• Creates a level playing field where everyone is productive
• Enables increased hiring of disabled workers
• The cumulative benefits of digital archiving and instant retrieval and distribution

How LaserFiche Improves Accessibility

When you scan or import documents into LaserFiche, the advanced OCR engine essentially reads them and creates a text version of their contents. This text provides crucial benefits for the mobility and visually impaired.

The text of your documents is accessible to text-to-speech (TTS) software that reads it aloud. Full-text searches from desktop computers ease the physical burden of manual searches through file cabinets and boxes. Efficient digital distribution via e-mail, CD and the Web replaces trips to storage rooms.
