Foreword by Rt Hon David Blunkett MP
"As a late convert to technology, it gives me immense pleasure to support the altformat campaign."
"As a politician I am mindful of the cost and difficulty of converting text into accessible formats, not just for visually impaired people, but also for those with print impairments. Thankfully times are changing. The power to generate cost effective, multi purpose files such as Braille, large print, audio and DAISY from a single source is now a realistic goal."
"There are fantastic examples of good practice across the globe, including the UK. I am also looking, with special interest, to see what is happening elsewhere, especially to the United States, Scandinavia, central Europe and Australia."
The altformat website has been established to share the best of these experiences with you.
