Ace by DAISY App, the official graphical user interface for the EPUB accessibility checker developed by the DAISY Consortium, available for the Windows, MacOS and Linux desktop operating systems.
Hello, our team at NNELS just wanted to pass along a couple suggestions that may help newbie publishers get more out of the Ace app (we use & recommend Ace a lot, thx!).
present a warning on the first tab if there is an empty alt tag, i.e. something like 'please review alt text'... (not everyone tabs over to Images tab)
prompt the user to review the book's headings, as they could be all messed up in a book and yet no one would know (many people assume all is good if some text is listed in the headings and toc)
Sometimes when a book seems to pass everything with 0 violations, publishers don't look much further than that, so having some prompts to take a careful look at alt text and headings may be helpful to guide them
